myNutrientGenomiX® assesses genetic predisposition related to nutrition and metabolism, providing information that can support a more personalized approach to diet and lifestyle.
More Information
Each individual’s response to diet depends not only on dietary habits and lifestyle but is also influenced by genetic factors. Variations in DNA can affect how nutrients are metabolized, the regulation of appetite and satiety, predisposition to weight gain, and the response to different dietary patterns.
myNutrientGenomiX® is a series of specialized nutrigenetic tests that analyze selected genetic polymorphisms (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, or SNPs) and Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS), with the aim of providing a personalized assessment of the relationship between genetic profile, nutrition, and metabolism.
Depending on the test version, information is provided on the genetic response to different dietary patterns, macronutrient and micronutrient metabolism, eating behavior, body weight, and, in the most comprehensive version, traits related to exercise and athletic performance.
The test is not designed to diagnose specific diseases, but rather to provide insight into genetic predisposition related to nutrition and metabolism. The results can be used by healthcare professionals to develop personalized nutritional and intervention strategies within the context of an overall clinical assessment.
What does the test evaluate?
Genetic profile analysis with myNutrientGenomiX® provides information on different aspects of the interaction between an individual’s genetic background and nutrition. myNutrientGenomiX® Basic assesses:
- Regulation of appetite and satiety, through genetic factors associated with food intake and eating behavior.
- Genetic predisposition to body weight and metabolism, including parameters associated with weight management and energy expenditure.
- Carbohydrate and fat metabolism, through genetic factors that influence the utilization of key macronutrients.
- Glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, through genetic factors associated with glycemic response.
- Lipolysis and energy expenditure, through genetic factors involved in the regulation of energy balance.
The myNutrientGenomiX® Basic test provides an initial assessment of genetic predisposition related to nutrition and metabolism.
It includes the analysis of 10 genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) across 10 genes, associated with key aspects of nutritional and metabolic response, including the regulation of appetite and satiety, macronutrient metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and body weight management.
It provides a reliable initial assessment of nutrition-related genetic predisposition and is a suitable choice for individuals seeking a first personalized approach based on their genetic profile.

Who is it intended for?
The myNutrientGenomiX® test series is intended for individuals who wish to better understand how their genetic profile may influence their nutritional needs and metabolic response. Results should always be interpreted in conjunction with the individual’s medical history, clinical profile, and assessment by a healthcare professional. The test can be a useful tool for:
- personalizing nutritional interventions,
- body weight management,
- optimizing nutrient intake,
- supporting nutritional monitoring programs,
- personalizing nutritional strategies for individuals with increased levels of physical activity.
myNutrientGenomiX® Basic is not a diagnostic test for the detection or diagnosis of disease. Rather, it is a tool for assessing genetic predisposition related to nutrition and metabolism, providing information that can support the personalization of nutritional recommendations. It is an ideal choice for an initial genetic assessment of nutritional and metabolic predisposition.
Who can use the results?
The findings of myNutrientGenomiX® should always be interpreted within the context of the individual’s overall assessment, taking into account medical history, clinical profile, dietary habits, and lifestyle. Test results can be used by healthcare professionals to develop personalized nutritional and intervention strategies according to each individual’s needs. The test can be a useful tool for:
- Physicians across various medical specialties, supporting the personalized assessment of genetic factors related to nutrition, metabolism, and lifestyle.
- Dietitians and Nutritionists, facilitating the development of personalized nutritional interventions based on the individual’s genetic profile.
- Healthcare professionals practicing preventive, functional, and personalized medicine, as a complementary tool to support personalized prevention and intervention strategies.
- Exercise and sports science professionals (particularly for myNutrientGenomiX® Advanced), supporting the personalization of nutritional and training approaches according to the individual’s genetic profile.
