You are unique, your healthcare
should be too.
There is a new paradigm in medicine which is seeing a shift away from the traditionally reactive, one-size-fits-all approach to a more personalised and predictive mode of practice.
DNA testing is a key component of this paradigm shift, by motivating behaviour change, helping you to understand your own, personal health priorities, and providing the tools required to reduce your disease risk.
What your DNA can tell you.
Our DNA code reveals everything about us; from our risks for disease, to responsiveness to chronic medication, to our migration journey out of Africa 80 000 years ago. At DNAlysis we decipher this code, giving you insight into your ancient heritage, your optimal medication regimen as well as how best to understand and manage your risks for chronic disease.
Recent scientific advances show that we can also now measure the actual expression levels of individual genes. This contributes to our overall understanding of both our current health status, and future health risks. TruAge reveals how old your body is at the cellular level, your speed of aging each year, and the age of your 11 key organ systems like the brain, heart, and liver. By testing regularly, you can use this analysis to see if your health interventions are making an impact and which systems require more attention.
Discover which DNAlysis test is right for you.
DNAlysis offers a range of DNA panels that cover a broad spectrum of health concerns or priorities. Use this filter to find the tests that are most relevant for you. Remember; after your first purchase any subsequent nutrigenomic test order is only R900.

The practitioner’s choice.
In order to fully benefit from your DNAlysis test you need to know what to do with the data it reveals.
It is for this reason that we pair you with a DNAlysis accredited practitioner, or one of our in-house nutrigenetic-trained healthcare professionals, that can consult with you on the results of your DNAlysis test.
To ensure the appropriate and responsible use of genetic testing in practice, DNAlysis offers comprehensive training to healthcare practitioners using our DNA tests.

Frequently asked questions
What if I do not have a healthcare practitioner?

Why do I need a healthcare practitioner?
For you to gain maximum benefit from the DNA reports, DNAlysis works with accredited healthcare practitioners that have received training on our DNA tests, how to interpret the genetic results, and translate them into practical nutrition and lifestyle interventions personalised to you. It is only in the hands of a well-trained practitioner that genetic tests become truly valuable.

How much is the feedback consultation fee?
he feedback consultation fee is payable to your healthcare practitioner. Each practitioner has unique rates, which is why DNAlysis cannot quote you on a feedback consultation.
