Metabolism and nutrition
How certain variants may relate to nutrient metabolism and individual responses to components of food.
Genetic study
Discover what your genetics may tell you about your health.
One sample. Information you can revisit throughout life.
Your DNA contains millions of variants. Some may influence your predisposition to certain diseases, your response to particular nutrients, your metabolism or other health-related characteristics.
Our genetic study based on polygenic risk scores turns some of this information into data that may help you make more personalised prevention decisions.
Visual example created with simulated data. It does not represent a real patient or the expected results of the service.

“This is more than a curiosity test. It is information I can revisit for years.”
01 — The study
We are not looking for ‘the disease gene’
Health does not depend on a single gene.
Most complex conditions do not depend on a single genetic variant.
Hundreds or thousands of small differences in our DNA may be involved, alongside environment, lifestyle and other factors.
Polygenic risk scores combine the effects of many of these variants to estimate a particular genetic predisposition.
This shifts the focus from one isolated piece to a broader part of the genetic picture.
02 — What it can offer
Your genetics may help you see where to pay closer attention.
The study analyses different areas related to:
Cardiovascular health
Genetic predispositions related to different cardiovascular risk factors.
Inflammation and immunity
Genetic information related to inflammatory processes and the body's response.
Hormonal health
Certain predispositions related to hormonal metabolism and reproductive health.
Brain and cognitive health
Variants and scores related to different aspects of neurological health.
Physical performance
Genetic information related to certain characteristics of performance and exercise response.
Ageing and longevity
Variants related to processes associated with ageing and oxidative stress.
Pharmacogenetics
How certain variants may influence response to or metabolism of some medications.
GENETICS≠DESTINY
Having a predisposition does not mean you will develop a disease.
Your genetics is one part of the equation.
That is why the value of the study is not simply receiving a percentage or score.
It lies in interpreting that information within each person's context.

04 — Why consider it
You need meaningful answers to understand your health
It may help you explore questions such as:
- 01
Which areas of my health deserve particular attention?
- 02
Is there a genetic predisposition I should know about?
- 03
What aspects of my diet could I personalise?
- 04
What risks should I watch over the long term?
- 05
Could any genetic information be useful to my doctor?
- 06
Which lifestyle choices make the most sense for my profile?
05 — The Health Code difference
We do more than hand you a report. We help you understand it.
Genetic results can be complex.
That is why the study includes personalised professional interpretation.
We review your results and explain them in accessible language, focusing on what may be relevant to you.
Data → interpretation → priorities → action.

VISUAL EXAMPLE · SIMULATED DATAVisual example created with simulated data. It does not represent a real patient or the expected results of the service.
Genetic information
One sample. Information that does not expire.
Your DNA remains essentially stable throughout your life.
This means the genetic information you obtain today may remain relevant at different stages of your life.
As scientific research advances, our understanding of genetics and health may continue to evolve.

10 — Important information
Purpose and limitations
The polygenic risk score study provides information about genetic predispositions for preventive and informational purposes. It is not, by itself, a medical diagnosis and does not determine whether someone will develop a disease. Results must be interpreted within the individual's clinical context.

12 — Frequently asked questions
Before taking the study
01Do genetic studies predict disease?+
No. Genetics may inform about predispositions, but it does not, on its own, determine what will happen. Results should be interpreted alongside other factors.
