DNA testing means we can all personalise our diet and lifestyle in a proactive way for optimal health and wellbeing.
Nutrient Core provides insights into the essential genetic interactions with diet and lifestyle, identifying if certain functions need additional genetic testing. It covers genes that impact the following:
The importance of this test is really so that you can be proactive for your health. Potentially uncovering information that can prevent future health problems or get to the bottom of symptoms that you currently have.
The Genetic Nutrient Requirements Test looks at your DNA to find tiny differences called SNPs, which can affect your health and how your body works. These differences can influence things like how your body processes nutrients, metabolises food and how responds to certain foods. Understanding them helps you make better choices for your health.
The Genetic Nutrient Requirement Test reveals whether an individual might struggle with or excel in processing cofactors such as folate, vitamin B12 and other vitamins including vitamin A, C, D and K. It also looks at your food response to lactose, gluten, caffeine and salt sensitive hypertension. It gives us information on your microbiome diversity that often underpins many health conditions, in addition to looking at some key detoxification markers and glutathione.
How we metabolise foods and the hormones that impact these, such as leptin and insulin, will have a big impact on our weight and appetite control. Inflammatory markers are covered, with these often-underpinning infection and immunity. Finally, you can find out what your genetic predisposition is regarding circadian rhythm, are you a night owl or early bird.
An imbalance in how the body absorbs certain nutrients, metabolises foods and how it responds to certain foods such as gluten, dairy and caffeine effects our susceptibility to various health conditions. This would be individual specific and is not an exhaustive list but these could include:
The genetic Nutrient Requirement Test assesses genes associated with the below:
Food Response: HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1 and LCT
Caffeine: CYP1A2 and ADORA2A
Microbiome: FUT2
Vitamins: BCO1, MTHFR, FUT2, TCN2, SLC23A1, COL1A1, GC, VDR and VKORC1
Blood Pressure: ACE and AGT
Detoxification: GSTM1
Metabolism: FADS1/2, FTO, TCF7L2, PGC1A and LEPR
Inflammation: TNF and IFNG
Circadian Rhythm: CLOCK and PER1
We have a team of functional medicine practitioners and registered nutritional therapists that we can refer you to help you with your results should you need any additional support. This is not included in the cost of the test.
Each test is processed in an ISO certified UK laboratory and all samples are completely destroyed after 3 months. All client genotyping data is marked for destruction at 5 months and completely destroyed by 6 months.
The client report, the data and the DNA sample is never (and will never be) shared with, or sold to third parties. All of the data extraction and analysis is done in the UK.
At Smart Nutrition we pride ourselves in offering the best cost possible for the Genetic Nutrient Requirement test.
Defects in nutrient requirements are wide and varied and have been associated with many clinical conditions including, but not limited to:

Buccal cheek swab.
Collecting your samples for the genetic Nutrient Requirement test is simple, it is a non invasive cheek swab and is suitable for all ages as long as a cheek swab can be collected.
You need to have a break from eating and drinking at least one hour before doing the genetic nutrient requirement test.
As the test is looking at genetic code, which is fixed, the test is not impacted by illness, infections, medication, the food you eat, or supplements you take. To avoid contamination of the sample, please abstain from eating/drinking for at least 1 hour before testing.
The genetic nutrient requirement test is available for anyone, including children, with the consent of a parent or guardian. When testing a child under 18, parental consent is required.
Results for the genetic nutrient requirement test are available in 2.5 weeks.
Your genetic nutrient requirement test results will be emailed to you.
We are here to offer ongoing support as you progress through your health journey, regardless of your test results. Should you have any inquiries or require additional assistance we are happy to help you.
If you feel you need additional support in addressing your health concerns, we suggest considering collaboration with the Functional Medicine and Nutrition Consultations Clinic. (website coming soon)

As you can see Olga and Karen can help you address areas highlighted by your genetic nutrient requirements test results, crafting a personalised plan tailored to your specific needs. This comprehensive approach would include recommendations regarding your Genetic Nutrient Requirement test results and any necessary further diagnostic testing depending on your goals, supplementation, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle recommendations, all presented with clear, easy-to-follow guidance.
How to Book your appointment
£150 an hour but you will also receive a £20 off your first appointment discount code with the results.
Many people book a 1 hour session to go over and understand their results.And lots of people want further ongoing support as they want to address their health concerns in more details.
We use lifecodeGX for our genetic nutrient requirement test.
Each test is processed in an ISO certified UK laboratory and all samples are completely destroyed after 3 months. All client genotyping data is marked for destruction after 5 months and completely destroyed by 6 months.
Please see the ISO Certifications below:
LifeCodeGX does not provide the raw data. It is only used as a means to produce the report and therefore not produced in the report.
If you did your genetic test within 3 months we can upgrade it without you needing a new DNA kit.
We don’t use data from any third parties like 23&Me. Unfortunately, it doesn’t include many of the important SNPs that are needed to perform our analysis and produce our detailed reports. We also prefer to use our own testing and data for confidentiality reasons. All of our packages include a Lifecode Gx DNA test to ensure completeness and accuracy.
All sample reports are for representational and educational purposes only. Biomarkers, references ranges, results, and all other data may differ from actual reports. All data included in no way represents an actual patient. Any comparisons of results to actual patients is completely incidental.Â
