PREVENTING DISEASES AND IMPROVING SPORTS PERFORMANCE WITH THE NUTRIGENETIC TEST

 

It is a branch of predictive medicine that supports the specialist in recommending the best and healthiest diet and lifestyle to the patient based on the individual's genetic profile. With Nutrinext®, it is possible to identify intolerances, reduce the risk of muscle injuries, and regain health and physical fitness.

 

 

What is nutrigenetics?

Nutrigenetics is a branch of science that examines how each of us responds to the molecules found in food. Every individual has a unique DNA, and this determines how the body responds to different foods and therefore their effect on our health. When a genetic defect is present, the foods and nutrients taken in with daily nutrition may not be absorbed properly.

For this reason, examining our own DNA is an effective tool for understanding which foods suit our body better and help us stay healthy.

 

Who is the test recommended for?

It is recommended for anyone who wants to stay healthy by preventing certain important diseases, for those who want to lose weight, for women in menopause, for men in andropause, and for those who play sports as amateurs or professionals.

 

Why should the test be done?

Examining the genetic makeup is an important step in understanding predisposition to certain diseases, improving quality of life and achieving a general state of well-being.

 

How can Nutrinext® improve your life?

With Nutrinext®, it is possible to detect bodily dysfunctions caused by non-personalized nutrition, such as intolerances, cardiovascular problems and metabolic conditions.

Simply by examining our genetic makeup, we can understand exactly which foods suit our body better and improve our health status.

4 test PANEL options are available;
Nutrinext - Intolerance Complete detects food intolerances in a short time. Unlike food allergy, which usually has a rapid and obvious reaction, intolerances show slow effects and can only be identified after long diagnostic processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is fasting required before the test?

Genetic tests analyze DNA, which is an unchanging characteristic, so you can have the tests done at any time of day. However, for the test to give accurate results, you should not eat or drink for one hour before sample collection. Before taking the test, we recommend that you read our few simple instructions.

Is it possible to create a diet based on a genetic profile?

Genetic tests are useful tools that should be presented to the nutritionist. These tests are used to plan possible corrective measures in nutrition and lifestyle and to determine more precisely the right time and methods for achieving the desired results.

Can a personalized diet be more effective?

Personalized diets can be effective only because they take personal genetic makeup into account. Staying healthy is the only way to lose weight well. When these diets are arranged according to an individual's genetic characteristics, maintaining health and a more successful weight-loss process are achieved.

Why should I choose the Eurofins Genome laboratory?

The Eurofins Genoma laboratory has been a leader in molecular diagnostics in Italy and many other countries for years.
