About this test
- How well your body absorbs, metabolizes, and utilizes vitamins and minerals.
- Your risk of experiencing nutritional deficiencies.
Description
Do you feel overwhelmed by the multitude of nutrition supplements available, or do you simply want to ensure that your dietary intake is balanced? Your genetic variation plays a key role in your body’s ability to absorb and utilize vitamins and minerals, which means there is no one-size-fits-all “wonder supplement” or “perfect diet” that works for everyone.
With just a simple mouth swab, we can analyze your DNA and provide you with tailored recommendations on how to improve your nutritional balance.
Technical Specifications
