Genetics and Nutrition – Shaping the Future of Supplements

Posted by admin on May 28th, 2010 | 0 comments

DNA-guided products have arrived and are about to profoundly impact the nutrition and personal care industries. We now have the technology to develop nutritional supplements and personal care products based on your bodies genetic profile. This new technology will provide your body with the optimal mix of nutrition providing you a happier, healthier lifestyle.

DNA-guided products and the companies that offer them are designed to help people live longer, happier, healthier lives by providing consumers with the optimal mix of nutritional supplements needed by your body to achieve peak levels of performance and wellness.

How it Works?

The process of obtaining DNA-guided supplements is very simple. The company you chose will provide you with a kit used to collect a sample of your DNA and a service to analyze your personal genetic strengths and weaknesses. Upon receipt of your kit:

You simply:

1. Open the kit and take out the tray and cotton swabs they provide
2. Swab the inside of your cheek several times using the sterile swabs included with your kit
3. Allow the swabs to dry for 5 minutes
4. Insert the swabs into the self-addressed envelopes that go back to the labs analysis

I just recently completed the process myself and it could not be any easier.

Your DNA sample is then sent off to a lab for assessment. This usually takes 2-3 weeks. Once your DNA assessment is complete you will receive a report containing the results of your genetic profile. The report will be the basis for determining your product system (ingredients).

The product system is then custom made for you based on your DNA assessment. The supplements come in a “take-it or break-it” capsule that is taken once a day either whole or broken into your beverage of choice. You no longer have to take multiple pills to get the vitamins your body needs, now you are able to get everything you need in one simple capsule.

The cost of DNA-guided supplements is very affordable. Around $4 per day retail or depending on how you purchase the product it can be for free. Some companies offer customer referral and affiliate programs that allow you to get your products for free.

Why is this important?

Up until now taking supplements to optimize your bodies health has been a guessing game. Now with advances in technology and emerging new companies, consumers have a revolutionary new approach available to them for personal care products and services. And its the Genomics industry that has enabled these advances in technology. The genomics industry is around $12B annually and is expected to more than double by the year 2012.

So, if you are a consumer or distributor of nutrition and health related products this is very exciting news. This new technology and trend is predicted to fuel a whole new area of nutrition and personal care products available for consumers.

How You Get Your Free Dna Testing Kit

Posted by admin on Apr 30th, 2010 | 0 comments

Due to advances in chemical analysis and a greater understanding of DNA and genetics, the once rare and expensive DNA screening of genetic material to determine relationships is now commonplace and available at very affordable prices.  Even the samples required for screening have been simplified, and an oral swab is now sufficient where previously a blood test would have been necessary. For a DNA test such as a paternity testing  paternity test to be carried out, genetic material has to be collected for each person participating, and a free DNA kit is provided by the supplier when you order the test.

The purpose of the kit is to provide all this needed to collect and return the sample, and although the contents will vary in detail between suppliers and laboratories, they will be intrinsically the same with respect to the necessary materials. These will include the swabs needed to collect the oral samples and a means of storing and returning these samples to the analyzing laboratory.  A submission form will also be necessary, where the details of the subjects are provided, and labels or pre-addressed envelopes also provided.  A very important component of the free kit is the instructions on how to use it.

Instructions are very important to some people, and even though sample collection with a swab is not difficult, it is important that they are clear. People are worried in case they affect the results by making some mistake when collecting the samples, and while that is unlikely, a video showing the entire procedure would be useful.  Nevertheless, it is simply a matter of taking a swab, rubbing it against the inside of your cheek and placing it in the container provided.  It is that simple.

Another important issue with some is the question of privacy. It is important to them that others don’t find out what they are doing, particularly if it does not concern others.  If that is you, then contact your supplier and request that the free DNA kit is provided in an unmarked package – nothing on it but your name and address. That will give you the privacy, and you can get on with the test.
