DNA TESTING
Gene SNP DNA Screening Analysis
Your health and lifestyle considerations can actually be
addressed by examining your own unique individual genetic
makeup. Modern genetic science research can now provide an
individual with a customized nutritional program and lifestyle
recommendations based on refined genetic profiling through DNA
analysis. |
 |
|
|
Your journey of self-discovery begins with an analysis of this
genetic code from a
DNA sample you provide through a simple swab of your cheek that
can be conducted either in your home or place of business along
with select information you submit in a questionnaire. The Gene
SNP DNA Screening Analysis can provide you with valuable
information on the relationship between your own unique genetic
profile and potential health challenges that could be effectively
met through advanced nutritional supplementation. It is affordable
and the results will remain accurate for your entire lifetime
because your genes do not change.

The Science of You
|
 |
Amazingly, this is an era in which your
individual diet, lifestyle and environment information is
sophisticatedly merged with your genetic background to provide
exclusive nutritional regimens that are designed specifically
for you. |
|
|
At the forefront of consumer
genomics, Sciona possesses years of in-depth experience as the
scientific engine that is driving this fascinating and ever
evolving field of study.
The latest advances in research have made it possible to create an
effective diet and lifestyle plan based on a scientific analysis
of your unique genetic profile. With professional genetic
screening offered by Sciona, you can make your most important
health decisions based not on fashion, but on your personal inside
story.

How does it Work?
Our service makes it possible to identify gene variations that
affect the way your body uses certain nutrients. These gene
variations are common and their presence is not a reason for
concern. However, once you know which variations you have, you
can optimize your well-being by making the healthiest diet and
lifestyle choices.
Our test panels comes with a lifestyle questionnaire. By
answering some basic questions, you help our team of experts
determine whether your eating habits are compatible with
healthy living, in light of your genetic makeup.*
*Gene SNP is not a genetic test for disease or pre-disposition
to disease, nor does it determine a medical condition. The
information that will be provided is not a diagnosis of a
medical condition. Individuals with specific concerns about
their health status or genetic testing should consult their
doctor or genetics professionals. |

The Process
Analyzing your genes does not involve a blood test or any other
painful or invasive procedure. It starts with a DNA sample, which
you collect at home by rubbing the inside of your cheek with the
set of swabs included in our test panel (please read the
instructions carefully to make sure you collect the sample
correctly). You then mail us the sample, together with a completed
questionnaire about your daily eating and lifestyle habits.
Please note: your DNA sample and the genetic information it
reveals are kept strictly confidential.

Two to three weeks after we receive the
questionnaire and the DNA sample, you will get a personal report
that evaluates your current lifestyle according to the results of
the DNA analysis. Our recommendations offer practical, effective
and proven ways to improve your short- and long-term health, help
prevent illness, and above all help you feel better. |

Your report will contain:
-
Your genetic profile
-
A beneficial dietary supplement formula
based on your genetic makeup*
-
Personal diet and lifestyle advice
-
Information on genes, nutrition and health
-
A guide to vitamins and minerals

The advice you will get from us is based on your body's real
needs, not on the latest dietary fad. In addition to alerting you
to diet and lifestyle factors to which you should pay particular
attention, we provide you with a personalized suggestion for a
nutraceutical that will enhance your health and well-being.

Tests Available |
|
Our DNA screening test provides you with
concrete information about the following seven areas in which the
link between gene variations and lifestyle has been scientifically
established.
Within this one test is information on:
-
Comprehensive Panel
The comprehensive panel addresses all the major area of
nutritional & genetic to provide a complete analysis from all
five panels.
-
Heart Health Panel
Heart health depends on a balance of environmental, dietary and
genetic factors. The genes we screen for affect a variety of
factors linked with heart health, including the metabolism of
cholesterol, antioxidant activity and the levels of homocysteine
in blood.
We offer simple dietary advice on optimizing heart health. For
example, people whose genes may be associated with altered
cholesterol metabolism will receive guidelines on keeping their
cholesterol levels within the normal range.
Some people have genetic variations that have an impact on the
way their bodies use B vitamins, an important factor in heart
health and cell growth. These people will be advised to increase
their intake of certain B vitamins and to take appropriate
supplements when required.
-
Bone Health Panel
Certain genetic factors may create a requirement for particular
foods or added supplementations that provide our bones and
joints with the nutrients they need to stay strong. We also
offer lifestyle advice for strengthening the bones and
preventing fractures.
-
Antioxidation/Detoxification Panel
Genes produce enzymes that help our bodies remove harmful
toxins. If appropriate, we recommend specific foods that give
the body's "cleansing" systems a healthy boost. Our bodies also
produce their own antioxidants, which are encoded by our genes.
These antioxidants affect how well our bodies neutralize free
radicals which are destructive molecules involved in aging and a
variety of diseases. An extra supply of antioxidants through
diet or supplementation may be recommended.
-
Inflammation Panel
Some gene variations produce altered proteins that may hinder
inflammatory processes from running smoothly. We can recommend
certain foods that have been shown to have a beneficial effect,
including the fats known as omega-3 essential fatty acids.
-
Insulin Sensitivity
Your DNA Holds the Key to Optimizing Your Health. The GENE SNP
DNA Screening Analysis just got better! Nutragenetics is gaining
momentum. In response to your requests, we have redesigned the
GENE SNP DNA Screening Analysis! There are five new individual
health areas, five new screening analysis reports and five new
confidential reports. Now you can focus on one certain health
area, just a few, or include all five in the comprehensive
panel. PLUS, we have redesigned the reports to make them user
friendly and more easily understood. There are also new graphics
and newly updated information in the report. Order individual
panels OR order one comprehensive panel that will analyze all
five for you.
Variations in certain genes may lead to reduced sensitivity to
insulin. We can recommend dietary and lifestyle changes that may
help support healthy insulin sensitivity.
