About Nutrigenomics
- Definition: Nutrigenomics is the study of how nutrients and genes interact, particularly concerning body composition, metabolism, and chronic disease risk.
- Food Intolerance Detection: The Nutrigenomix® test, including NGx-Gluten™, analyzes genetic variations in the HLA gene to determine your risk of gluten intolerance, unlike traditional blood tests for coeliac disease.
- Scientific Foundation: The science and technology behind Nutrigenomix® DNA tests are evidence-based and proven to provide reliable results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Nutrigenomics?
Nutrigenomics examines the interaction between nutrients and genes, focusing on how they affect metabolic processes and gene expression, providing an individualized perspective on nutrition and health.
How does a DNA test detect food intolerance?
The Nutrigenomix® test uses NGx-Gluten™, a comprehensive genetic tool that analyzes variations in the HLA gene to determine the risk of gluten intolerance, unlike blood tests which only detect antibodies for coeliac disease.
How is this test different from a blood test for coeliac disease?
Coeliac disease and gluten intolerance are distinct conditions. While blood tests can detect antibodies for coeliac disease, they may not identify gluten intolerance. The Nutrigenomix® test identifies genetic predictors of gluten intolerance, offering a more precise analysis.
