CardioGene

Evaluation of genetic markers associated with cardiometabolic health

Collection of cells from the inside of the cheek using a swab, isolation of DNA, and evaluation of eight (8) genetic markers associated with cardiometabolic health and related diseases.

Evaluation of genetic markers related to caffeine consumption & hypertension, glycemic index & diabetes mellitus, sodium consumption & cardiovascular health, omega-3 & omega-6 fatty acid consumption & cardiovascular health, total cholesterol & triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, fasting blood sugar or glucose, and physical activity & cardiometabolic health
Nutritional recommendations based on the genetic profile

CardioGene™ is a cutting-edge nutrigenetic service focused on genes that influence cardiometabolic health in relation to diet. It analyzes your genetic predisposition across a range of factors affecting blood pressure and cardiovascular function, offering targeted guidance for prevention and optimization of daily well-being.

CardioGene™ is based on up-to-date genomic research and is ideal for:

Individuals with a family history of cardiometabolic conditions

Nutrigenomics is a scientific field that seeks to understand how each individual metabolizes and processes various nutrients based on their unique genetic makeup. It explores the relationship between specific genetic variations and how they affect processes such as nutrient absorption, metabolism, and overall health.

By understanding your genetic profile, nutrigenetics enables personalized dietary recommendations aimed at optimizing health and preventing diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions. For example, certain genetic variants may influence how your body processes fats, sugars, or vitamins. Integrating nutrigenomic insights can lead to more effective, individualized nutrition strategies that promote long-term well-being.

Through your analysis, you will:

Discover your genetic blueprint for key cardiometabolic risk factors, such
as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia
Receive personalized dietary recommendations and lifestyle modifications based on your genetic profile
Be supported in lifelong disease prevention through informed nutritional
and behavioral choices
Gain a deeper understanding of your cardiovascular function and
promote targeted heart care
