• The GENEWELL™ test screens for genetic variations that are, or may affect your health.  You can reduce the susceptibility for the condition(s), by being proactive and implementing the science-based strategies recommended to you.  These may vary from modest changes in your environment, your diet, and physical activity or adjustments in the nutritional supplements you take.
   
• The GENEDIET™ test highlights the very big role your DNA has in the regulation of your body weight. Studies show that up to 70% of your risk for being overweight is determined by your genes. Your DNA also provides information about your feeding behaviours, natural appetite control, the fat burning process, your genetic need for physical exercise in order to maintain a healthy body weight, and your sensitivity to dietary fat and carbohydrates. 
   
• Whether you are a recreational or professional sports athlete, optimise your training and athletic potential with the GENESPORT™ test.  The genes tested can show your response to caffeine, preferred fuel and energy source during exercise and your risk for inflammation and injury.
   
• GENERENEW™, focuses on genetic factors for a young and healthy appearance. Personalise your needs for a youthful appearance and complexion by knowing your genetic profile.
   
• GENEIMMUNE™ test. Just like everything else in the body, the genes also control the immune system. Some genes detect the virus, some switch the immune system on, some have to switch it off and then informs the body to go clean-up and repair the damaged tissues.  Knowing which of your immune genes are working or not working, will take the guesswork out of how you can optimise immune system to protect yourself against viruses and bacteria.
   
• GENE-Rx™ will provide insight into how a patient metabolises, transports and binds certain prescription drugs, which empowers physicians to prescribe medication that will most likely be the most effective for first time treatment. Physicians will therefore, be able to identify individuals at risk of experiencing treatment failure and adverse side effects from treatment based on their genetic makeup.
  The ultimate goal is personalised medicine identifying genetic biomarkers affecting drug response, to better guide drug therapy decisions for an individual. This will significantly improve treatment of disease. Currently, most doctors base their drug prescription on symptoms and factors such as the patient’s age, weight, sex and organ functionality. However, for a large subset of drugs, genetic variations have been identified and research is available that indicates how a person with these genetic variations, is likely to respond to these drugs.
   
• If you can not decide which test to do, why not choose the  GENECOMBO™, which combines the  GENEWELL™,  GENEDIET™,  GENESPORT™, and  GENERENEW™ at a reduced price.
