DNA Core & Nucleotides
DNA Core®
DNACore is the starting point on your journey to personalised healthcare. This test reports on gene-environment interactions and provides personalised, easy-to-follow, summarised recommendations on four core areas; 1) key biological processes that drive health including methylation, detoxification and lipid metabolism, 2) macro- and micronutrient requirements based on genetic response, 3) weight management insights such as obesity risk and eating behaviour, and 4) exercise responsiveness including power and endurance potential, and recovery time. Note that this test includes all gene variants tested and insights reported in DNA Health, DNA Diet, and DNA Sport, in one user-friendly report.
Nucleotides
Nucleotides are essential to the foundation of good health through good nutrition and provide the key to many biological processes. Nucleotides are primarily known as the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Read more
Overview
As Nordic Biohackers, we understand our individual uniqueness through identifying our genetic structure, we assess biochemically and physiologically how we perform, and monitor that over time. Adjusting and assessing regularly so we gain through longitudinal data an understanding of how we perform in a world of stressors. The journey towards longevity begins in the gestational period and lasts our whole lifetime. As we engage in health ownership by breaking down the preconceptions about early testing, we monitor our physiological data and adopt personalized nutritional and lifestyle approaches tailored to our genetic footprint that work together with targeted treatments focused on improving our biological performance. State-of-the-art education and active group learning is therefore essential, and should be attained with access to nutrigenomic experts and world-recognised holistic healthcare professionals. Thus, through the Nordic Biohacker Experiment, you will have not only detailed insight and education about your genotype and phenotype, but also the opportunity to share your experiences, inspire others and exchange knowledge during your journey towards health optimisation and longevity.
Practical
Test type: DNA: Core
Sample required: BloodSpot
Average processing time: 18-21 days
Privacy policy: The DNA and the original sample material are destroyed after 3 months, so that there are no names or other identifiers on the samples. The samples are analysed only for the SNPs that are included in the tests at DNALife, and no other research or analyses are performed without a separate permission from the patient. We do not give or sell the results to any third parties.
