The health DNA package also includes an analysis of how your genes influence skin characteristics such as elasticity, hydration and antioxidant capacity, which play a key role in your skin ageing process! Using the latest generation of genetic sequencing, skin testing gives you the tools to choose the appropriate creams and treatments by identifying your skin’s real needs. Results can also assist you and your dermatologist or beauty consultant when designing a personalised treatment for your skincare.
Sports • Which Sports suit your DNA?
Training hard is not enough, you also have to exercise smarter. This health package offers genetic testing for sports, a fundamental tool for amateur and professional sports practice which can help you plan your training programme most smartly, reach your goals and even avoid injury.

Talent • Your unique Personality Traits and Talents
No, it does not stop there, genetic testing for talent and personality is included in the package! By applying certain prestigious studies to your genetic results, scientists at the laboratory are able to link your genetics to possible predispositions in different personality traits. This type of testing identifies your predisposition to personality traits and talents such as impulsivity, neuroticism, intelligence and figurative creativity. For instance, results may indicate that you possess the COMT gene which is known to be a huge contributor to figurative creativity.
Nutrigenetics • What about Personalised Nutrition?
Lastly, this all-in-one genetic package offers genetic testing for nutrition! Nutrition testing involves an analysis of the relationship between your genes and your nutritional responses. From this genetic analysis, you will learn fundamental things such as which nutrients you should get more of because of your genetic tendency not to assimilate them as effectively as other individuals. Nutrients tested for include fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and much more. Results for this test can guide you to eat in the healthiest way possible and lose weight!
