A DNA test can help clients achieve a level of confidence in the nutritional products they choose by:
Determining unique nutritional needs based upon a confidential DNA analysis.- Providing clients with the recommended nutritional supplement(s) and nutrients needed for each specific genetic polymorphism (SNP).
- Taking the “guesswork” out of complex biochemical pathways that may hinder nutritional delivery.
- Suggesting compressed formula options for better compliance and cost-effectiveness.
Genetic variants are more common than we realize:
- More than 75% of all people have significant genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) in the most important nutritional metabolism pathways.
- Millions of people spend their hard earned income on nutritional supplements without knowledge or scientific proof of nutritional need or benefit.
- Without genetic validation of enzyme function, many supplements are not effectively delivered at the cellular level, therefore, people may be wasting time and money with nutritional ingredients that have little to no benefit.
