Q1:How does Nutrigenomix genetic testing work?
Nutrigenomix uses a simple, non-invasive saliva sample to analyze 70+ genetic markers. You collect the sample at home or at your healthcare practitioner's office, send it to our lab, and receive a comprehensive report with personalized nutrition recommendations within 2-3 weeks.
Q2:Who can order a Nutrigenomix test?
Nutrigenomix tests are only available through certified healthcare practitioners including Registered Dietitians, Naturopathic Doctors, Registered Holistic Nutritionists, and other qualified healthcare professionals. This ensures you receive proper guidance in interpreting and applying your results.
Q3:What does the 70-gene test analyze?
The 70-gene test analyzes genetic variants affecting weight management, nutrient metabolism (vitamins, minerals, omega-3s), cardiometabolic health, food intolerances (gluten, lactose), eating behaviors, caffeine metabolism, and more. Each report includes personalized, evidence-based recommendations.
Q4:Is Nutrigenomix scientifically validated?
Yes. Nutrigenomix is built on a foundation of over 200 peer-reviewed scientific publications. The company was founded by Dr. Ahmed El-Sohemy, a Canada Research Chair in Nutrigenomics at the University of Toronto, and won the 2019 NutraIngredients Award for best Personalized Nutrition Initiative.
Q5:How is Nutrigenomix different from consumer DNA tests?
Unlike consumer DNA tests, Nutrigenomix is designed for use with healthcare practitioners who can help you interpret and apply your results. Our recommendations are based on peer-reviewed research, not proprietary algorithms, and we focus specifically on actionable nutrition and lifestyle insights.
Q6:Can Nutrigenomix help with weight loss?
Yes. The test analyzes genes related to weight management, including how you respond to different macronutrient ratios (low-carb vs. low-fat), your genetic predisposition to obesity, satiety signaling, and eating behaviors. This helps your practitioner create a truly personalized weight management plan.
