What is Nutrigenomics (NGx)?

What it does:

Your genes play a significant role in how your body processes nutrients, influences cravings, and stores energy. The NGx test decodes these genetic influences, providing a detailed report of how your diet impacts your health and well-being.

How it helps:

• Personalized Nutrition Plans: Receive tailored recommendations on the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to thrive
• Achieve Wellness Goals: Whether you’re looking to lose weight, improve energy, or manage a health condition, this test empowers you to make smarter dietary choices.
• Prevent Nutrition-Related Issues: Understand your predisposition to conditions such as lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity, or vitamin deficiencies. Gene Matrix’s NGx test bridges the gap between nutrition and genetics, ensuring your diet aligns perfectly with your body’s unique needs.

1) Genetic Variations

Gene Matrix’s nutrigenomic testing includes analysis of key genetic variations such as MTHFR, FTO, APOE, TCF7L2, CYP1A2, PPARG, SLC23A1, ADIPOQ, VDR, and MCM6. These genes influence a range of health factors including folate metabolism, obesity risk, lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, caffeine metabolism, vitamin C absorption, insulin sensitivity, vitamin D metabolism, and lactose tolerance. By targeting these variations, Gene Matrix provides personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations to optimize health outcomes and enhance patient care. This comprehensive approach leverages advanced technology and AI to deliver precise and actionable insights, ensuring superior patient outcomes.

2) Personalized Nutrition & Health

Nutrigenomics enables the development of personalized nutrition plans tailored to an individual’s genetic profile, optimizing health outcomes, preventing diseases, and managing existing conditions more effectively. By understanding genetic variations,
it helps determine how well individuals metabolize specific nutrients, leading to more efficient nutrient utilization and preventing potential deficiencies or toxicities.

3) Benefits of NGx Testing

Nutrigenomics (NGx) testing offers significant benefits by providing personalized dietary recommendations based on an individual’s genetic profile. This tailored approach helps optimize health outcomes, prevent diseases, and manage existing conditions more effectively. By identifying how genetic variations influence nutrient metabolism, NGx testing enables more efficient nutrient utilization, reducing the risk of deficiencies and toxicities. Additionally, it supports the development of targeted nutritional strategies that can mitigate the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and certain cancers. Overall, NGx testing enhances the ability to create precise and actionable nutrition plans, promoting better health and well-being.
