Nutrients Testing Package

1. Nutrient Core Genetic Test

A cheek swab test that explores how your DNA influences diet, nutrient metabolism, and lifestyle responses. It provides a personalised genetic blueprint by assessing:

• Vitamin metabolism: Folate, B12, A, C, D, K requirements and utilisation
• Food sensitivities: Genetic susceptibility to gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, and salt-sensitive hypertension
• Caffeine response: Variants determining whether caffeine boosts energy or disrupts sleep
• Microbiome diversity: FUT2 gene variants linked to gut flora resilience
• Detoxification capacity: Genetic markers for antioxidant defence and toxin clearance (e.g. GSTM1)
• Metabolic regulation: Genes influencing fat metabolism, appetite control, and blood sugar regulation (e.g. FTO, TCF7L2, LEPR)
• Inflammation pathways: TNF and IFNG variants affecting inflammatory resilience
• Circadian rhythm: CLOCK and PER1 genes influencing sleep/wake cycles and energy timing

This test highlights predispositions that may explain challenges such as fatigue, food sensitivities, poor stress tolerance, or difficulty losing weight.

2. Health MOT (Nutreval)

A combined blood and urine test measuring over 125 biomarkers to provide a real-time snapshot of nutritional status and functional needs. It evaluates:

• Antioxidants: Levels and requirements for vitamins C, E, glutathione, and other protective compounds
• Minerals: Calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, iron, and essential trace elements
• Vitamins: Comprehensive assessment of B-vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin A, and vitamin K
• Essential fatty acids: Omega-3 and omega-6 balance linked to cardiovascular and inflammatory health
• Amino acids: Protein building blocks for energy, neurotransmitter production, and tissue repair
• Digestive function: Biomarkers for malabsorption, maldigestion, and gut health
• Energy production: Mitochondrial function and biochemical pathway efficiency
• Methylation balance: Essential for detoxification, DNA repair, and cardiovascular resilience
• Oxidative stress: Markers of free radical load and antioxidant defence
• Toxic exposures: Indicators of environmental burden and detoxification demand

The Health MOT provides a functional “scorecard” across multiple systems, highlighting where nutritional support may be most needed.

By combining genetic predisposition (Nutrient Core Genetic Test) with current functional status (Health MOT), this package offers both a long-term map and an immediate snapshot — guiding highly personalised nutrition and supplement strategies.

Sample Collection

• Nutrient Core Genetic Test: cheek swab
• Health MOT: blood and urine samples (phlebotomy required for blood draw)

Recommendations for phlebotomy services will be provided after the order has been received. Prices vary depending on your location.

Your sample needs to be sent using guaranteed next day delivery or via courier Mon–Thurs.

What Do I Need to Do Before Taking the Tests?

• Nutrient Core Genetic Test: Avoid eating/drinking for 1 hour before swab collection.
• Health MOT:
• Avoid artificial sweeteners and MSG for 4 days prior
• Fast overnight before blood draw
• Avoid seafood for 24 hours prior
• Limit fluids to 1.5 litres the day before urine collection

Consult your GP or practitioner before stopping any prescribed medication.
