Weight management DNA test
About the test
Genetic information about weight management
This test assesses selected genetic variants associated with nutrition, metabolism and response to physical activity. The report explains them and provides dietary and physical activity recommendations.
Weight is influenced by more than genetics. The test does not guarantee weight loss and does not replace an individual health and nutritional assessment.
Nutrition and metabolism
The report discusses genetic associations with the metabolism of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and other nutrients.
Physical activity
Information is provided about the analysed genetic characteristics associated with physical activity, along with recommendations for discussing the results.
How should the recommendations be assessed?
Consider them alongside your current diet, activity, health and a specialist’s assessment. A genetic test does not directly measure blood vitamin levels, calorie intake or fat burned during exercise.

Frequently asked questions
Does the test identify the only diet that is right for me?
No. Genetic data alone cannot reliably identify one best dietary plan.
Will the result show a vitamin deficiency?
Genetic information is not a measurement of current vitamin or mineral levels in the body.
Does the test identify inherited diseases?
This product provides information related to weight management and lifestyle, rather than diagnosing inherited diseases.
Does the test need to be repeated?
Inherited variants generally do not change, but the scope of testing and scientific interpretation may be updated. The need for repeat testing is assessed individually.
