When it comes to your health, the answers are in your genes. Now, you have the tool that gives you those answers. With the Gene SNP™ DNA Analysis you can gain insight into your genetics and how they impact your health. You may simply want to know what role your genes play in digestive health, how well your body copes with the stress of physical activity, how environmental factors affect your body and uncover how your genetics and lifestyle impact your health.Gene SNP delivers answers exclusively tailored to you, your body and your lifestyle. No more guesswork, get the facts! NUTRIGENOMICS
How Does It Work?
In the convenience of your health professional's office, a sample is collected from your cheek cells, which contain your DNA. The swabs are put into the provided, specialized collection container after drying. Send the swabs with the Genetic Assessment Request Form and the Consent Form in the included mailing tube provide
How Does It Work?
In the convenience of your health professional's office, a sample is collected from your cheek cells, which contain your DNA. The swabs are put into the provided, specialized collection container after drying. Send the swabs with the Genetic Assessment Request Form and the Consent Form in the included mailing tube provided in the kit to the processing laboratory. (S&H not included) Once at the certified laboratory, DNA is extracted from your swabs and then prepared for analysis. The DNA is analyzed using the latest genotyping technology to give the most accurate results. Once all of this data is compiled, it is entered into a sophisticated, algorithm-based computer software program that generates a confidential, easy-to-follow Gene SNP Health Action Plan to be reviewed by the health professional or a qualified staff provider and the patient. Typically, it takes four to six weeks for you to receive your Gene SNP DNA genetic testing results. In combination with interpretation from your health professional, Gene SNP DNA Analysis provides valuable information about gene expression and its impact on factors like cardiovascular, endocrine and mental/emotional health. In addition, Gene SNP DNA Analysis also looks at select nutrients and fitness factors that may contribute to chronic health concerns including obesity. Dietary intervention, based on knowledge of nutritional requirement, nutritional status, and genotype can be used to prevent, mitigate or remedy chronic disease
How Genes Affect You
No two people have the same fingerprint. Like our fingerprints, our genetic variations are unique identifiers which make us different from every other person. It's the variations in genes that make us who we are. From our gender; the color of our hair, eyes and skin; the types of foods that work best with our bodies; and even the type of exercise designed to maximize our individual performance, our genes are the instruction manual for the creation and maintenance of our bodies.Our genes are composed of combinations of protein bases. While there are only four possible bases, they can be combined in billions of ways to code for countless functions in the body. These four bases make up the DNA alphabet and combine to form words and phrases that give instructions to your body for everything from how your cells function to the color of your hair. Sometimes, when cells in the body replicate to make new cells, mistakes are made and a gene that was supposed to code for the word now reads By changing just one letter or just one base, the gene now has a totally new meaning and function. These variations are called single nucleotide polymorphisms (or SNPs).These small variations in DNA are expressed in many ways. They can influence how we metabolize food and what types of exercise are best suited for our bodies. By identifying our own unique gene variations, we can customize lifestyle approaches and nutritional supplementation to maximize our genetic potential promoting optimal health never before achieved
