Wellness Testing
General health
There are multiple factors involved in maintaining homeostasis and overtime, micro-nutrient deficiencies, high-levels of oxidative stress, low-grade inflammation, metabolic or hormonal imbalances and lifestyle can impact optimum health and personal well-being.
Early detection helps to motivate change in diet, sleep habits, exercise & lifestyle choices and affords clinicians the time to plan, in the event that a condition or disease develops.

Ageing well
AgeCheck Woman
Ageing affects women in a variety of ways – physically, physiologically and biologically – so it is important to detect any warning signs as soon as possible so that the underlying issues can be optimally managed. The most relevant biomarkers are nutritional and metabolic. The assay of these markers, through the AgeCheck Woman analysis, is suitable for any patient wishing to maintain her biological equilibrium, especially in order to prevent premature ageing.

AgeCheck Man
The ageing process in men causes hormonal and metabolic changes, which are key indicators in terms of preventing harmful effects. Cardiovascular risk markers play an important role here, combined with those relevant to ensure an optimum macro- and micro-nutritional balance.

Oxidative Stress
OxyCheck
OxyCheck estimates the oxidative stress in a patient by taking the results obtained from 9 markers, selected for their relevance, and using a specific index, to calculate the oxidative state. Much more than just a simple assessment of the body’s defenses, this index faithfully reflects the oxidative stress levels of a patient at a specific moment in time.

Detox Genetic Test
This test looks for genetic variations in the genes (GSTM1, GSTP1, GSTT1, SOD2, NOS3, CAT) involved in regulating the body's antioxidant system as these variations may affect the body's ability to combat the harmful effects of free radicals. Free radicals are produced from normal day-to-day living (eating, exercise, stress etc) and the body has built-in protection (anti-oxidant enzymes, DNA repair enzymes) to 'mop-up' and protect but a system can be over-whelmed.
This test may interest people exposed to high levels of mental, physical or environmental stress & those interested in longevity and cellular ageing.

Sensitivity Tests
The three most popular sensitivity tests are caffeine, alcohol & histamine.
Histamine
People can become sensitive to Histamine, a chemical compound produced naturally in the body to regulate multiple functions. This test looks for genetic variations in the 2 key enzymes that metabolise histamine. Firstly, histamine-N-methyltransferase (HNMT) and secondly diamine oxidase (DAO). Overload symptoms include headaches or migraines, nasal congestion, fatigue, hives and digestive issues.
If results confirm a genetic predisposition you can consider dietary changes, avoiding high-intake of histamine-rich foods. Talk to you doctor or nutritionist about supplements that may help.

Alcohol
Alcohol is metabolised by the liver, converting ethanol to acetaldehyde (ADH) and then acetaldehyde to acetate (ALDH2). ADH (Alcohol Dehydrogenase) is the primary gene involved.
If there are genetic variations on these genes they can cause significantly faster conversion of ethanol into toxic acetaldehyde or slower metabolism, allowing acetaldehyde to build up very quickly, causing unpleasant side-effects - flushing, nausea, tachycardia, and for some an increased cancer risk. Genetic variations on these enzymes determine individual reactions to alcohol and susceptibility to dependency or alcohol-related illnesses.

Caffeine
This genetic test will tell you if you are a slow or fast metaboliser of caffeine. A slow metaboliser may experience anxiety, insomnia, palpitations amongst other side-effects whereas a fast metaboliser experiences short-lived, stimulating effects that can benefit alertness when required, in particular athletes who want to optimise their performance.
The test checks for genetic variants on the gene that codes for the cytochrome P450 1A2, a liver enzyme involved in the metabolism of caffeine (including theine). Test results help to motivate you to reduce or time your caffeine intake.

ImmuCheck
ImmuCheck is a panel specifically designed to explore and optimise immune function. The parameters have been chosen based on their relevance, each of them representing a fundamental element necessary for the proper overall functioning of the immune system. The results obtained will make it possible to correct the deficiencies and minimise the imbalances revealed by their measurement and analysis in a personalised format.

SopioCheck
SopioCheck is a panel designed on the basis of relevant publications establishing a link between certain micronutrients and the quantity and quality of sleep. By correcting imbalances and compensating for deficiencies, an inventory of these elements can help patients to improve their restorative sleep.

Vitamins
Vitamins are essential for the growth, equilibrium and health of the body, both physically and mentally. Vitamin deficiencies can lead to various disorders, sometimes without obvious symptoms. The Vitamins panel tests the most common vitamins to identify potential deficiencies.
