DNA Core
Indications
- Indepth metabolic contexts: Assessment of genetic variation influencing lipid metabolism, detoxification, methylation, glucose regulation or inflammatory tendency alongside potential nutrient need or intolerances.
- Lifestyle interventions: Focussing on macronutrient distribution, exercise programming, circadian-aligned eating to support energy homeostasis, and nutrient-dense foods to optimise core biochemical pathways.
- Family history of chronic disease: Cardiometabolic or inflammatory conditions where inherited factors may influence investigation and intervention outcomes.
- Nutrient metabolism considerations: Further assessment where variation in vitamin or antioxidant handling may be clinically relevant, alongside gluten and lactose intolerance susceptibility.
- Exercise recovery or adaptation optimisation: Evaluation into exercise responses to enhance health and movement outcomes.
- Preventive and/or health optimisation assessment: Individuals seeking additional genetic context alongside biochemical testing to optimise health and enhance longevity.
Overview
DNA Core examines a broad range of genetic factors influencing key biological pathways such as methylation, detoxification, and lipid metabolism. The analysis includes genes associated with energy homeostasis, nutrient processing, antioxidant activity, and inflammation, giving an overview of the genetic components that may impact overall metabolic functions and nutrient interactions. This version integrates insights into vitamin metabolism, lactose and gluten tolerance, as well as aspects related to alcohol metabolism and iron regulation, offering a comprehensive perspective on genetic influences that may affect general wellness and daily nutritional responses.
The test also explores genetic tendencies related to weight management, including genes linked to eating behaviours, body composition, and fat metabolism, providing context for personalised lifestyle considerations. Additionally, it includes information on exercise-related traits such as muscle performance, endurance capacity, and recovery attributes. These elements aid in understanding individual variations in activity response and metabolic efficiency without implying any diagnostic capabilities.
DNA Core is designed as an inclusive resource, combining information traditionally found in separate analyses concerning health fundamentals, dietary preferences, and physical activity responsiveness. Its report is structured to support educational and wellness-driven decisions, enabling users to deepen their understanding of gene-environment interactions. Although comprehensive, the emphasis remains on promoting informed curiosity and self-optimisation in lifestyle management rather than clinical assessment.
DNA Core is intended for informational, educational, wellness and/or research purposes only. It is not intended for use in medical diagnosis, disease screening or clinical decision-making. DNA Core is not a replacement for clinical laboratory testing and does not provide medical diagnoses. This content is intended for general information within the EU market and should not be interpreted as a regulated in-vitro diagnostic claim.
