Do I Need a DNA Test Before Using Your Functional Foods?

No — you don’t need a DNA test for functional nutrition to benefit from our products. Our formulas are designed to support key biological systems — inflammation, detox, oxidative stress, iron metabolism — that affect everyone.

However, if you want a personalized layer of insight, our “Test for Your Genes™” DNA kits can help you match functional foods to your unique genetic blueprint. It’s not essential — but it’s incredibly empowering.

When DNA Testing Can Enhance Your Functional Plan

  • If you’re not responding to general nutrition: DNA insights can reveal hidden gene-nutrient mismatches.
  • If you want to prevent long-term issues: Know your vulnerabilities in oxidative stress, detox, and fat metabolism.
  • If you want precision dosing: Adjust vitamin D3, B12, or curcumin based on absorption and methylation SNPs.
  • If you’re working with a clinician: Our reports are clinically actionable and come with gene-nutrient maps.

Our DNA test for functional nutrition is about clarity — not necessity.

What Research Tells Us

  • Personalized nutrition based on DNA improves adherence and outcomes compared to generic plans 1.
  • Key nutrigenomic pathways (e.g., GST, SOD2, MTHFR) impact nutrient utilization and detoxification 2.
  • Even without genetic testing, polyphenol-rich foods show universal benefit in inflammation, cognition, and metabolic balance 3.

Summary: Genes Add Precision, Food Delivers Results

Whether or not you test, our functional foods work. But if you want to unlock full personalization, a DNA test for functional nutrition adds clarity to your food strategy.

Tip: Start with food. Layer in your DNA when you’re ready to go deeper.
