Helix Health & Diet Test
If your DNA is what makes you unique, what would be better than to base your skincare regime, diet and lifestyle behaviours on your individual genetic needs?
The optiphi Helix Health Report offers exclusive insight into genetic variations which have been associated with various health risks and concerns. Information obtained from this test will enable you to adjust your diet, supplement and lifestyle behaviours to minimize these health risks in the long term.
The optiphi Helix Diet Report offers a unique approach to understanding the nutritional needs of your body, as well as the role genetics play in your response to physical exercise. Major dietary considerations (for example low-carb versus low-fat) can be individually validated through this test as well as sensitivities to certain foods. Additionally, the amount of exercise you should be getting and how you may respond to exercise is also investigated.
