No. The Nutrition profile is not a diagnostic test. However, the Nutrition profile is a tool for finding out whether you are genetically predisposed to developing lactose intolerance or an immune response to gluten. In this way, the Nutrition profile complements a diagnostic test. If your risk proves to be high, this may warrant further investigation.

Unfortunately, we cannot make recommendations about nutrients that are not currently on the list. If a nutrient is not on the list, it means that the current scientific evidence is insufficient to predict response and make recommendations. Nonetheless, you might be able to discuss nutrients that are not in the profile during your consultation with the nutritionist, a service included in this Profile.

No. Taking any prescribed or non-prescribed medication will have no influence on the pharmacogenomic test. However, it is not advisable to stop or modify your current treatments without the approval of a healthcare professional. We therefore recommend that you continue your treatments as directed by your healthcare professional.

The nutrigenomic test is not a clinical test, i.e. it cannot be used to establish a diagnosis or recommend any treatment; this is why the report is marked "For research purposes only". The information contained in the report may be used to guide your dietary choices, but it does not constitute a dietary plan.
