Nutrient Core Report

This foundational assessment evaluates the impact of genetic variants on food tolerance and intolerance, appetite regulation, blood glucose balance, micronutrient requirements, detoxification capacity, and vulnerability to inflammation and infection.

This test panel examines how genetic variants influence food tolerance and intolerance, appetite regulation, blood glucose stability, micronutrient requirements, detoxification processes, and vulnerability to inflammation and infection.

Nutrient Core provides foundational insights into the genetic interactions between an individual's diet and lifestyle. The analysis indicates whether specific functions may warrant further genetic investigation. Included in this evaluation are genes demonstrated to affect:

  • Food response: gluten (coeliac) and lactose intolerance

  • Caffeine: sensitivity and metabolic processing

  • Microbiome: microbial diversity

  • Vitamin requirements: vitamins A, B9 (folate), B12 (cobalamin), C, D, and K

  • Blood pressure: sodium-potassium balance and salt-sensitive hypertension

  • Detoxification: glutathione metabolism

  • Metabolism: blood sugar regulation (insulin) and appetite control (leptin)

  • Inflammation: both pathogen-specific and systemic responses

  • Circadian rhythm: predisposition towards early or late chronotypes

Genes Included

Food Response: HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, LCT

Caffeine: CYP1A2, ADORA2A

Microbiome: FUT2

Vitamins: BCO1, MTHFR, FUT2, TCN2, SLC23A1, COL1A1, GC, VDR, VKORC1

Blood Pressure: ACE, AGT

Detoxification: GSTM1

Metabolism: FADS1/2, FTO, TCF7L2, PGC1A, LEPR

Inflammation: TNF, IFNG

Circadian Rhythm: CLOCK, PER1
