Functional testing

---

Nutritactic offer a range of nutrigenomics DNA test panels that inform how inherited health risks can be addressed through personalised nutrition and lifestyle change.  Genetic testing can be used for a variety of purposes, such as identifying genetic disorders, assessing the risk of developing certain conditions, and determining the most effective treatment options.Variations in our genome (DNA) are what makes each of us unique and can have significant impacts on our life and health. Whilst one gene variant can make a difference, most chronic diseases result from the interplay between multiple common variants (SNPs) and environmental factors.

• Prevention : By analyzing your genetic information, you can gain insights into nutritional and lifestyle factors that may reduce the risk of developing chronic conditions. 
• Pre-existing chronic conditions : Individuals with existing chronic health issues can use genetic testing to determine if genetics contribute to their condition and to identify pathways that may be affecting their symptoms.
• Health optimisation & biohacking : Those seeking to enhance their overall health and well-being can utilize genetic insights to optimize their lifestyle choices and biological processes.
• Non-responders : Genetic analysis can be beneficial for individuals who do not respond to traditional clinical interventions, helping them understand if genetic factors play a significant role in their condition and symptoms.

• Thyroid Balance Report - Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism
• Histamine Intolerance Report- Skin irritation or breathing difficulties (mimicking an allergic reaction), digestive problems, headaches, insomnia and anxiety.

The Organic Acid Test (OAT) is a type of urine test that measures 76  organic acid metabolites in a person's body. In addition to delivering comprehensive and precise assessments of intestinal yeast and bacteria, it also supplies valuable data on essential neurotransmitters, nutritional indicators, glutathione levels, oxalate metabolism, and various other factors. 

The OAT test measures a range of organic acid metabolites, including those related to energy production, neurotransmitter function, detoxification, mould, yeast and gut health. Abnormally high levels of these microorganisms can cause or worsen behaviour disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue and immune function.  metabolites can indicate imbalances or deficiencies in various systems in the body, and the test results can be used to guide treatment and support overall health and well-being.

In our modern world, we are constantly surrounded by a multitude of harmful chemicals. From the air we breathe to the products we use, exposure to environmental pollutants has become an unavoidable aspect of daily life. These chemicals lurk in various sources, including environmental pollution, pesticide residues on produce, household items, cosmetics, packaged foods, and medications. Unfortunately, this widespread exposure has been linked to a myriad of chronic illnesses, ranging from cancer and cardiovascular disease to conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome, chemical sensitivity, autism spectrum disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Testing and understanding your exposure to mycotoxins (mould), heavy metals, and non-metal chemicals, would be crucial for the development of a focused detoxification strategy and general wellbeing.

Nutritactic offers:

• Hair Toxic and Essential elements by Doctors Data

Hair analysis provides important data that can be used in conjunction with symptoms and other laboratory values. It is an inexpensive and valuable screen for physiological excess, deficiency or maldistribution of elements. As protein is synthesised in the hair follicle, elements are permanently incorporated into the hair and represent a temporal record of element metabolism and toxic exposure. The levels of nutritional elements such as magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium and chromium correlate with levels in organs and other tissues whereas toxic elements may be 200-300 times more highly concentrated in hair than in blood and urine. Hair is generally the tissue of choice for the detection of recent exposure to toxic elements such as arsenic, aluminium, cadmium, lead, antimony and mercury. This test may be useful for assessing toxic element exposure, excessive fish consumption, alopecia, depression, fatigue, malabsorption, hypertension, impaired glucose tolerance, kidney function, impotence, reduced testosterone, vision problems and Parkinson’s like symptoms.

• Mold Mycotoxin test

The MycoTOX Profile is a urine test for 11 different mycotoxins from 40 species of mould. Mycotoxins are metabolites produced by fungi like mould, which can infest buildings, vehicles, and foodstuffs such as seeds, tea, coffee, nuts, and grains. Mould can grow on almost any surface, especially if the environment is warm and wet. These fungi then release mycotoxins into the environment causing symptoms of many different chronic diseases. Diseases and symptoms linked to mycotoxin exposure include pneumonia-like symptoms, heart disease, rheumatic disease, asthma, sinusitis, cancer, memory loss, vision loss, chronic fatigue, skin rashes, depression, ADHD, anxiety, and liver damage. With the MycoTOX Profile, we can identify mycotoxin exposures and create a detoxification strategy.

The DUTCH test is a type of hormone test that assesses levels of hormones and hormone metabolites in a person's body. "DUTCH" stands for "Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones," and it is a type of dried urine test that provides a detailed analysis of hormone levels over a 24-hour period.

The DUTCH test is designed to measure a variety of hormones, including cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and melatonin, among others. By analyzing these hormones and their metabolites, the DUTCH test can provide insights into a person's hormonal balance, as well as potential imbalances or deficiencies that may be impacting their health.
