Genetic Testing

Your nutritional needs are unique to you alone. You need to first learn about how your body uniquely processes food before saying that you are eating wisely. DNA Nutrigenetics Test is designed to assist your weight management by guiding diet and exercise programs based on the genetics differences in metabolism, fat adsorption and other related areas.

DNA Nutrigenetic Test provides a detailed report that covers four key aspects: body shape, food sensitivity, vitamin needs and recommended exercise index, our 20 health indicators will be your own guide to a healthy diet.
