A testing platform gives providers the ability to give nutritional support.

Austin, 05/31/2016 / SubmitMyPR /
Genomix Nutrition, Inc. Launches Nutrigenomic Testing Platform and Empowers Providers With The Ability To Provide Nutritional Support Based On An Individual’s DNA
 
The completion of the human genome project in 2003 brought tremendous opportunities for optimizing human health, but with this information has also led to more questions among patients and healthcare providers. Can genetic variations (polymorphisms) lead to long-term health issues? How can these genetic weaknesses be bypassed? And, how can clinicians use genetic information to help people achieve a better quality of life through nutrition?
 
Genomix Nutrition, Inc, a nutrigenomic testing company, is ready to provide patients and healthcare providers answers. No longer will genetic variations define an individual’s future health status. With the launch of a simple cheek swab, this testing platform and nutritional support application will help healthcare providers offer answers to their patients to bypass their genetic weaknesses through personalized and appropriate nutrition. Through genetic analysis and scientific algorithms created by a team of medical experts, this platform will offer an easy-to- read nutrigenomic report that not only shows a patient’s genetic SNPs but offers recommendations on how to overcome these genetic weaknesses in 5 key metabolic areas.*
 
Beyond Methylation
Methylation is a process that is required by every cell and is responsible for over 250 biochemical processes in the body. The term methyl refers to one carbon molecule attached to three hydrogen molecules and is essential for many processes, like building and repairing DNA, clearing toxins and helping with nutrient absorption at the cellular level.
 
An individual’s genetic makeup helps determine how, and if, certain nutrients are methylated and delivered properly. Small genetic weaknesses, known as Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (or SNPs), can greatly impact the methylation pathways and potentially contribute to negative long-term health issues. Beyond methylation, there are 4 other key genetic categories that are essential to health and that need to be addressed along with methylation. These key areas include mitochondrial function, neurotransmitter production, detoxification and inflammatory response.
 
The Surge of Individualized Medicine Brings Clarity To Patients & Providers
 
Scientific advances have allowed, at an affordable price, virtually anyone the ability to know their genetic makeup and how it may impact their health. With the introduction of the Genomix Nutrition platform, health care providers now have the ability to test, analyze and recommend nutritional support by knowing a person’s SNPs in 5 key areas within 26 genes.
 
"Nutrigenomic testing has forever changed the landscape of nutritional supplementation and functional medicine. By genetically identifying the enzymatic and functional protein weaknesses present in any individual, we, as professionals, can accurately identify the exact nutritional needs of that patient. Nutrigenomics, because of its scientific method, allows better functional outcomes for patients without the risk and financial burden of “over supplementing”. Genetic testing has also allowed us to develop more complete and targeted supplementation formulas. This profound tool will become the standard for practitioners who recognize the power of proper nutrition in health and wellness. I am personally thrilled to be part of this exciting advancement in medicine." - Kendal Stewart, MD / Chief Science Officer
 
The Genomix Nutrition Platform Can Help Improve Patient Satisfaction and Health Success Rate By:
Determining each patient's unique genetic-based metabolic needs in the analysis of 26 genes
 
Providing the professional a detailed genetic report that outlines the nutritional supplement/s needed for each specific polymorphism
 
Taking the “guesswork” out of complex biochemical pathways
 
Suggesting compressed nutritional formula options for better patient compliance and cost effectiveness
 
Providing the necessary tools to build the provider’s knowledge base and expertise in this field
 
The Genomix Nutrition Goal Is To Provide:
  • The Right Supplement/s in
  • The Right Amount for
  • The Right Indication for
  • The Right Patient at
  • The Right Time.*
