Key proteins in the body play crucial roles in how medications work: enzymes activate or break them down, transporters allow them into cells, and receptors bind to them to create effect. Genetic variants can affect the function and amount of these proteins, leading to varying medication responses amongst individuals.

The most common genetic variants are harmless and mainly determine differences in traits like eye colour. Some variants can play a major role in how we respond to medications. Pharmacogenetic researchers explore the impacts of these variants, and this research can translate into insights about what medications and doses could be used, and which should be avoided in specific individuals.

Inagene’s Nutrition & Fitness testing for personalized nutrition and fitness is done in partnership with Nutrigenomix, a biotechnology company offering genetic testing for personalized nutrition in more than 50 countries worldwide. The test kit results provide a blueprint for developing a tailored plan to optimize your health and wellness.

Evidence shows that one-size-fits-all nutrition recommendations are inefficient and often ineffective. Research in nutrigenomics can now explain why the same foods affect different people in different ways. The Nutrigenomix test kit was used in the first published, peer-reviewed randomized controlled trial of genetic information related to nutrition. This research showed that DNA-based nutrition recommendations result in greater dietary improvements than general advice.

We offer the most comprehensive test to help you and your health care provider select the right medications at the right dose. We focus on testing for as many gene variants as possible, supported by insights that can help improve treatment decisions for pain, mental health, heart health and more. We only include medications backed by trusted pharmacogenetic guidelines and continuously update our test with the latest research. More medications doesn't mean better results - using preliminary data can lead to misleading recommendations.

Inagene is dedicated to inclusivity. We incorporate genetic data from a wide range of ethnic groups, and continuously update our databases prioritizing studies that allow us to provide personalized insights that cater to the needs of customers, regardless of background.

At Inagene, protecting your privacy and personal data is our top priority. We ensure your genetic data is secure, never shared or sold, and comply fully with Canadian Data Protection regulations, including PIPEDA and Provincial Privacy Regulations. Our comprehensive safeguards—physical, electronic, and procedural—protect against unauthorized access, use, alteration, duplication, destruction, disclosure, loss, or theft of your personal information.
