Intolerances & Sensitivities DNA Test

Discover whether you carry a genetic risk of a common food intolerance or sensitivity

This at-home test will provide you insights into any genes that you carry associated with common food sensitivities, and share nutrition recommendations specific to you from our team of healthcare professionals.

Why test

Our food intolerances can help pinpoint foods that your body may struggle to digest or react negatively to.

By looking at your DNA, you can understand your genetic risk and tailor your diet to avoid potential triggers, which might alleviate symptoms like bloating, headaches, or skin issues.

This personalised approach can improve your overall wellbeing and quality of life by promoting better digestion and reducing discomfort associated with food intolerances or sensitivities.
