Ever wondered how genetic information is passed from one generation to the next? 🤔 It’s all about inheritance! During sexual reproduction, genetic material from two parents combines to form offspring. Each parent contributes half of their genetic material, contained in chromosomes made up of DNA. Through a process called meiosis, reproductive cells with half the usual number of chromosomes are formed. When these cells combine during fertilization, the full set of chromosomes is restored in the offspring. This process ensures genetic diversity among individuals within a population. 🌱

Nutrigenomics is the scientific study that uses modern genomics technology to study the relationship between genes, nutrition and health. It has long been apparent that some people respond differently from others to certain nutritional elements. For example, individuals with methylation deficiencies lack the ability to convert B12 into the bioactive form Methyl B12, while other individuals can convert this nutrient with no problem at all.
Polymorphisms and SNPs: Researchers look for one or more nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPS; pronounced "snips"). SNPs are single nucleotide substitutions of one base for another that occur in more than one percent of the general population. Changes in the sequence of nucleotides, the “letters”, that make up our genetic code are called genetic polymorphisms (mutations) or natural variations in our genes. These can cause differences in the character or amount of protein encoded by a given gene.
Our DNA Testing: At GX Sciences our focus is on the carefully targeted 55 genetic variants (polymorphisms or SNP’s), which were found in research to have a significant impact on the body’s metabolic pathways, meaning that they participate in the absorption and metabolism of nutrients, detoxifying mechanisms, functioning of the immune system and a tendency toward certain diseases and health issues.
Who Would Benefit From This Type of Genetic Testing? Do you want to know what nutritional supplements may work best for you or your patients? Nutrigenomics allows us to understand how our genes affect the way we respond to nutrition and helps us determine what types of nutritional supplements should benefit an individual's genetic make up. It will help you find the correct form of the nutrient that your body needs to carry out the cellular function required for optimal delivery.
The nutrigenomic approach could save time, money and discomfort for millions of people through accurate diagnosis and matching patients with appropriate nutritional supplementation.
How is this test performed?
Learn what nutrients your genes require and need for optimal functioning and health in a simple test that requires swabbing the inside of your cheek. Your patients' results are analyzed at our cutting edge lab partner facility and you receive the patient's personalized genetic report within 7-10 business days via your GX Sciences Practitioner Portal.
