Overview

Does Your Body Have Detoxification Issues?

Find out which pollutants and toxins are more dangerous for you.

From the air we breathe on the way home, to the food we eat and the cosmetics we use, our body absorbs different pollutants each day. These toxic chemicals burden our health, inducing disease and promoting aging processes.

Our body’s line of defense is detoxification enzymes that help us metabolize and get rid of these chemicals.

Learn what chemicals to stay clear of and how to boost your detoxification ability.

People differ in their detoxification capacities.  While some people carry an efficient version of an enzyme, others carry a less active genetic version which makes them respond far worse when exposed to certain chemicals and pollutants.

This DNA app determines your body’s response to toxic chemicals including:

▪  Endocrine disruptors that mimic your hormones

▪  Carcinogens promoting cancer

▪  Lead found in old houses, water pipes, playground facilities

▪  Benzene in gasoline fumes, solvents, paints

▪  Bisphenol-A in plastic food containers, toys, cans

▪  Phthalates in cosmetics, plastics, chewing gum

▪  Arsenic in water, rice

▪  Dioxin in fatty foods

▪  Acrylamide in pastries, fast food, french fries and coffee

▪  Mercury in fish, cosmetics and dental fillings

▪  Pesticides and herbicides in food and water

▪  Additional pollutants

Getting Started

This app is compatible with most DNA tests including 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and MyHeritage.

Simply upload your DNA data to use this app. If you haven't yet taken a DNA test, order one of our DNA tests.

Once your DNA data is stored in your Sequencing.com account, click the app's 'Start' button. You'll receive your results in about 15 minutes.

Our clinical-grade 30x Whole Genome Sequencing test obtains data on 100% of your genome.

 

Test your individual sensitivity to common toxic chemicals around you.

Why are some people more sensitive to pollutants? The answer exists within our DNA. For some people, their DNA enables powerful detoxification but for other people, detoxification doesn't work as well.

By analyzing your DNA, this app calculates your body's ability to detoxify specific pollutants. The app also identifies the specific pollutants that are likely to be most detrimental to your health.

While you can't avoid all pollutants, the personalized insights provided by this app will enable you to aggressively avoid pollutants that may cause you the most harm.

Personalized genetic report with crystal-clear insights for healthier living.

The app analyzes dozens of genes and enzymes responsible for metabolizing toxic agents, chemicals, and pollutants.

Genetic Sensitivity To Pollution

Our world is polluted. Discover how your own body responds to toxic chemicals, and how you can help protect it.

Toxic chemicals are everywhere. They challenge everyone’s health, although some are extra sensitive (or extra resistant!).

We vary in our ability to cope with pollution from the moment we are born, and that’s because our DNA is different.

Some of us have genes that code for efficient detoxification enzymes, while others have to settle for less active enzymes. This is part of the genetic variation that makes us different from each other. Genetic variation is what makes us look different, and what makes our body act a bit different in various small ways.

Remarkable breakthroughs of the last decades allow us to read into the human genetic code.

We can read a gene and understand how changes in its code will change the enzyme’s activity. Thanks to solid evidence from multiple biochemical and epidemiological studies, we can anticipate how a genetic variant changes a biochemical response or an organ’s performance.

With these understandings, we can predict how people react to different chemicals absorbed from the environment.

After analyzing the genetic code of enzymes responsible for metabolizing different toxic agents, we present you with the chemicals you should avoid, or at least reduce your exposure to. We advise how to avoid or reduce exposure, and which nutritional and lifestyle habits can help your body cope better with each chemical.

Scientific Platform

GeneInformed provides access to science's most useful genetic knowledge.

GeneInformed, the developer of the GeneVironment app, was established by researchers who firmly believe it’s time to share the fruits of genetic knowledge with the general public. Our goal is to provide meaningful genetic analysis that helps in optimizing health and wellness.

To that end, we constantly review the current scientific literature for quality studies that add to the expanding and exciting human knowledge on genes and the traits affected by them.

Our team of experienced geneticists, doctors, and experts in nutrition, sports genetics, biostatistics, dermatology, toxicology, and pharmacology has developed the company’s products for the last six years. We integrate some of our original research with up-to-date scientific literature and use bioinformatic tools to provide you with the best scientifically-based recommendations to fit your DNA.

Backed By Science

Statistical significance and predictive power come first.

As scientists around the world publish multitudes of human genetic studies each year, we follow a rigorous quality assurance process to sift through the large data sets. We make sure that each of our tests is evidence-based, and the interpretations we provide are based on statistically-sound studies with large cohorts.

These days there is an abundance of Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and meta-analysis studies that pool as much as half a million individuals (!), solidly associating a SNP with an affected trait. In any case, our standard statistical significance level is of P-value of 5% or better, with added Bonferroni correction when multiple factors are tested.

Boost your health and wellness with evidence-based advice and solid science. Unravel your inborn tendencies and predispositions and make informed decisions in choosing the right diet, exercise regimes, and other lifestyle habits.
