Nutrition DNA Testing
Discover diet and nutrition information within your DNA
Discover the genetic variants that can impact the way your body metabolizes vitamins and minerals whilst maximising what you eat, with our tips on foods that provide you with the nutrients you need within your diet.
Vitamin D testing
Vitamin D can affect bone density, muscle health and the immune system.
It has been estimated that 1 billion people globally have vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency.
Our nutrition DNA test provides information on how genetic variants may affect vitamin D metabolism.
Vitamin C Testing
Vitamin C can affect skin health, cellular health and energy production.
It is commonly praised for curing or preventing the common cold, but there is mixed scientific data to prove this benefit. It does, however, serve the body in many ways that support your wellbeing.
Our nutrition DNA test provides information on how genetic variants may affect vitamin C absorption and homeostasis.
Vitamin B12 Testing
Vitamin B12 can affect red blood cells, energy levels and brain function.
Maintaining a healthy level of vitamin B12 helps make red blood cells, supports a healthy nervous system, and helps with releasing energy from food.
Our nutrition DNA test provides information on how genetic variants may affect vitamin B12 absorption.
Vitamin A Testing
Vitamin A can affect eyesight, the immune system and bone health.
Our nutrition DNA test provides information on how genetic variants may affect beta-carotene metabolism.
Omega 3 Testing
Omega 3 can affect skin health, inflammation and cardiovascular health.
Omega-3 refers to a family of essential fatty acids that play a crucial role in the body. They are called 'essential' because the parent omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) needs to be sourced from food or supplements as our body cannot make it
Our nutrition DNA test provides information on how genetic variants may affect omega-3 metabolism.
Lactose Tolerance
Lactose can affect bloating, skin health and sinus congestion.
People with lactose intolerance do not produce enough lactase, a digestive enzyme that breaks down lactose in order for the body to absorb its constituents.
Our nutrition DNA test provides information on how genetic variants may affect lactose digestion.
Celiac Disease Risk
Celiac disease is a disorder than triggers an autoimmune response to gluten. Sufferers of celiac disease may experience bloating, diarrhoea, tiredness, and aches when exposed to gluten-inclusive diets.
Our nutrition DNA test provides information on how genetic variants may indicate risk of celiac disease.
Carbohydrates & Sugars
Carbohydrates and sugar response can affect energy levels, hunger levels and the immune system.
Carbohydrate and sugar response refers to the way in which the body regulates the concentration of glucose in the blood, keeping it from dipping and spiking.
This nutrition DNA test provides information on how genetic variants may influence blood glucose regulation.

Nutrition DNA Testing FAQs
It is important to consider that DNA is not the only deciding factor in how your body reacts to vitamins and nutrients.
Many lifestyle aspects contribute to the expression of your genes, meaning that DNA alone can’t predict whether your genetic predispositions are or every will actively affect you. There are many factors such as sleep, hydration, air quality and diet that can impact and change how your body responds to the nutritional traits in your DNA.
Your DNA results are not diagnostic and do not determine whether you will develop a health condition. This test is for informational purposes only.
Living DNA’s wellbeing experience is designed to cast a light on your unique genetics that plays a part in your quality of life.
Discover how through understanding your body, it may be possible to improve the quality of your life by making adjustments to your diet.
Living DNA provides you with nutritional reports that indicate how your body responds to lifestyle-related analysis such as:
- How your body responds to different vitamins
- How your body breaks down foods to which your body may be sensitive to such as gluten or lactose
