The Nutrient Core Genetic Test is a great choice for anyone that really wants to understand how to optimise their diet and lifestyle, so it best matches their genetics. Or for those looking to reduce their risk of chronic health conditions. The information in the test can also be useful to work out how best to target health imbalances such as:

• Difficulty losing weight
• Mood imbalances 
• Lowered immunity 
• Food sensitivity symptoms
• Neurological symptoms such as poor memory and concentration
• Low stress tolerance
• Signs of premature ageing
• Reduced bone density or osteoporosis

The Nutrient Core Genetic Test looks at whether you might struggle with or excel in processing nutrients such as folate, vitamin B12 and other vitamins, including vitamin A, C, D and K. It also looks at your food response to lactose, gluten, caffeine and salt-sensitive hypertension. It gives us information on your microbiome diversity as well as assessing some key markers for metabolism, detoxification, antioxidant defence and circadian rhythm. The genes tested include:

• Food reaction susceptibility: HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1 and LCT

• Caffeine metabolism: CYP1A2 and ADORA2A

• Microbiome diversity: FUT2

• Vitamin needs: BCO1, MTHFR, FUT2, TCN2, SLC23A1, GC, VDR and VKORC1

• Blood pressure regulation: ACE and AGT

• Detoxification capability: GSTM1

• Metabolism: FADS1/2, FTO, TCF7L2, PGC1A and LEPR

• Inflammation: TNF and IFNG

• Circadian Rhythm: CLOCK and PER1

The Nutrient Core Genetic Test requires a simple cheek swab

14 working days.

As the test is looking at genetic code, which is fixed, the test is not impacted by illness, infections, medication, the food you eat, or supplements you take. 

To avoid contamination of the sample, please abstain from eating/drinking for at least 1 hour before testing.

The Nutrient Core Genetic Test is suitable for any age, however, when testing a child under 18 parental consent is required.
