What is Pharmacogenomics?
Pharmacogenomics is the study to understand how your body (DNA) responds to medicines. By knowing this, it helps doctors to better personalize your treatment – choosing the right medication and dosage, reducing side effects and improving overall outcomes.
How it works: DNA testing shows which medicines work best for you and which may cause side effects or have lower effectiveness.
Benefits:
- Right drug & dose from the start (reduces trial-and-error).
- Reduces risks of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs).
- Improves treatment safety and effectiveness.
Where it helps:
- Common drugs (blood thinners, painkillers).
- Long-term conditions (depression, high blood pressure, chronic pain).
- Surgery & emergencies (response to anesthesia and painkillers).
Lifelong value: Your genetic results become a permanent reference for future prescriptions. A life saving DNA test.
What is Nutrigenomics?
Nutrigenomics is the study of how your genes (DNA) influence the way your body responds to food and nutrients. You’ll uncover your unique nutritional needs and receive personalized diet recommendations from a consultant dietitian – helping you boost energy, improve health, and lower risks of chronic diseases.
How it works: Nutrigenomics testing reveals how your body processes nutrients (eg. carbohydrate, protein, vitamins), food responses and liver detoxification.
Benefits:
- Personalised diet recommendation tailored to your DNA.
- Reduce risks of nutrient deficiencies (eg. Vitamin D, B12, folate).
- Improve digestion by identifying risk of intolerances & food responses (e.g., lactose, gluten, caffeine).
- Support healthy aging with antioxidant & anti-inflammatory guidance.
Where it helps:
- Managing risks of chronic conditions (diabetes, obesity, heart disease, inflammation).
- Choosing the right foods, supplements and nutrition strategies.
- Optimise weight management (eg. fat loss, muscle gain).
Lifelong value: Your DNA results serve as a permanent health guide, giving you clarity to make smarter food choices and achieve long-term health goals.
How This Purchase Works
- After placing your order online, our team will reach out within 1–3 working days to guide you through the testing process and consent. A buccal swab kit will be delivered to your address, arrival depends on location.

- Once your report is ready, you’ll have a consultation with our dietitian to review the results and receive personalized guidance tailored to your health needs.
Who Benefits Most?
Pharmacogenomics and nutrigenomics testing can benefit a wide range of people. It’s especially useful for individuals who take multiple medications or struggle with side effects, as well as those with a family history of drug-related complications. Patients managing chronic conditions such as heart disease or chronic pain can also gain valuable insights. Beyond that, anyone who wants safer, more effective prescriptions – or nutrition tailored to their unique DNA – can benefit from this testing.
