If your detoxification pathways are not working correctly then it can increase susceptibility to various health conditions. These include:

• Mood and hormonal imbalance such as PMS, weight gain, anxiety, depression, mood swings, low libido and infertility.
• Immune imbalances such as recurrent and frequent infections, asthma, food allergies and skin rashes.
• Digestive complaints including constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, fatty stools, bad breath, bitter taste, intolerance to fatty foods, acid reflux and heartburn
• Neurological symptoms such as headaches, poor memory and concentration, dementia or neuralgia and low stress tolerance
• Muscular aches and chronic fatigue
• Sign of premature ageing

This test is suitable for people with:

• Signs and symptoms of detoxification issues.

The Detoxification Genetic Test assesses gene variation in the genes that code for enzymes involved in all three stages of detoxification. Phase 1 enzymes help to activate toxins, Phase 2 enzymes prepare the toxins for excretions and anti-porters allow prepared toxins to leave your cells. The genes tested include:

• Important phase 1 CYP enzymes including: CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP1B1, CYP2A6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 and CYP3A4
• Enzymes involved in the detoxification of alcohol: ADH1B, ADH1C and ALDH2
• Enzymes involved in the detoxification of pesticides: PON1
• Antioxidant enzymes that protect our cells from the damaging effects of toxins: SOD2, GPX1 and NQO1
• Phase 2 enzymes that prepare toxins for excretion: UGT1A1, UGT1A6, COMT, TPMT, SULT1A1, SULT1E1, SULT2A1, NAT1, NAT2, GSTM1, GSTP1, GSTT1
• Antiporter gene that helps remove toxins from cells ready for excretion: ABCB1
  
  

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