DNA tests

Each person has a unique genetic profile that can influence how the body responds to nutrition, exercise, lifestyle and the aging process.

DNA testing can provide valuable insights into individual genetic predispositions and help identify your body’s specific needs. This information can support a more personalized approach to nutrition, physical activity, wellness and healthy aging.

Four different tests are available, each focusing on a specific area: Longevity, FitSport, iGenesis and Food & Nutrition.

Depending on the test selected, the analysis can provide information related to genetic predispositions, physical performance, metabolism and nutritional needs, as well as individual responses to different foods.

The results provide valuable information that can be used to personalize nutrition and lifestyle strategies according to your individual profile.

Overview of DNA tests

Longevity

Having a long and healthy life has always been the aspiration of humankind, and today this goal seems more and more attainable. In fact, the quality and duration of our life and our health depend, in most cases, on the speed and quality of the maintenance interventions that we are able to activate in our psychophysical system. The possibility of penetrating the cell and discovering those minimal alterations that can turn into disease in the long run allows us to activate prevention mechanisms long before symptoms appear. And the goal is to delay or even exclude the appearance of a disease, that is, to practice the art of prevention!
There are different types of exams: Genetic Predisposition to Neurological Pathologies, Genetic Predisposition to Cardiovascular Pathologies, Macula and Optic Nerve Alterations, Genetic Predisposition to Type 2 Diabetes, Genetic Predisposition to Osteoporosis and Joint Damage, and Genetic Predisposition to Paradontitis.

FitSport

FitSport is a test that, through DNA analysis, identifies individual genetic predispositions useful to optimize your training, improve your performance, and maintain the results obtained. Based on the results of the analysis, it is possible to identify three aspects of one’s individual physiology, all very important for programming the ideal physical activity for one’s own organism.
The first one is the predisposition for the type of effort, which identifies whether one should rather focus the training towards explosive strength or endurance strength. The second important aspect is the capacity for lipolysis, that is, the body’s ability to eliminate body fat. The information obtained helps to better modulate physical activity to achieve faster and more effective weight loss. The third parameter refers to the antioxidant capacity, i.e., the body’s ability to eliminate the toxins produced by physical activity. This parameter is very important, because an incorrect capacity to eliminate toxins (free radicals or ROS) can lead to muscle and joint disorders that negatively influence training.

iGenesis

The iGenesis-test addresses the relationship between food and genetics, which enables maximum customization of your diet to ensure health, wellness, and effective weight loss (or gain). We know that food is undoubtedly the most powerful medicine available to human beings. But individual genetic variations can cause adverse reactions to some food(s). The test consists of five modules that study your genetics in detail and give results readily:

  • The metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins in the body to identify a personalized food profile, based on genetic predisposition.
  • The metabolism of vitamins and minerals, which are of fundamental importance in the performance of our metabolism.
  • The predisposition to certain food intolerances and sensitivities. Substances such as alcohol, caffeine, nickel, sodium, fructose, lactose and gluten, as well as the genetic predisposition to accumulation or deficient absorption of iron.
  • The genetic predisposition of our body to fight, in an effective and genetically based way, against excess free radicals and the accumulation of toxins.
  • The genetic analysis of behavior and eating habits, which directly influence the eating pattern to obtain and maintain a healthy weight.

Food & Nutrition

The Food & Nutrition Test is a comprehensive assessment designed to provide a deeper understanding of how your body responds to food and other substances. Using a saliva sample together with a small blood sample collected from the fingertip, the test evaluates individual responses to more than 200 foods, as well as selected medications and other nutritional and metabolic parameters.

Food hypersensitivities can be difficult to identify because individual reactions are not always immediate or obvious. Certain foods may be well tolerated by one person but less suitable for another, potentially contributing to digestive discomfort, bloating, heaviness, or other symptoms that can affect overall well-being and make nutritional goals more difficult to achieve.

The test analyses a wide variety of food groups, including cereals and legumes, vegetables, fruits, nuts, dairy products, eggs, meats, fish and seafood, fats, beverages, herbs, spices and other commonly consumed foods. The results help identify which foods are better tolerated, which may benefit from being consumed less frequently, and which may be advisable to avoid according to the individual response.

The assessment goes beyond food hypersensitivity. It also provides valuable information about vitamin absorption, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, genetic factors associated with weight management, selected medications, and predispositions related to different areas of health.

Answers to frequently asked questions

The DNA sample is collected simply and non-invasively by softly turning and rubbing a swab against the inner wall of the cheek. The sample will then be wrapped up properly and sent to a molecular biology laboratory for genetic analysis.

No, the tests are not linked to each other. You can perform each one individually, or decide to tak two or all three tests at once. The individual results per se are conclusive; however, by taking all three tests together, you will have the best understanding of your body and metabolsim.

No, the test results won’t expire, as the results tend to not change over time.

You will understand how your body works and can use this information to make daily choices that contribute to your long-term health. For example, you will understand how to increase your performance, how to regulate your diet to achieve certain effects, and much more.

Yes, your food plan will be assembled based on your results of the DNA test.
