WHAT WE OFFER:
GX Sciences, a premiere
biotechnology company / laboratory based in Austin, TX, is proud to introduce
the most comprehensive Nutrigenomic testing and blood analysis interpretation platform
available in the medical marketplace. Our customized software, is specifically designed for medical providers only and
allows the provider to validate a patient's specific nutritional needs, laboratory recommendations, lifestyle recommendations and health precautions
based on the patient's individual DNA findings. We also offer blood analysis via microsampling that offers a quick and easy way for providers to obtain blood results with a simple finger prick method. GX Sciences is specifically designed to empower the healthcare
professionals and patients with an easy-to-use, scientifically validated genetic and laboratory platforms to provide health and recovery through personalized medicine.
Our team of experts have designed a
turn key solution for practitioners to offer patients affordable Nutrigenomic
Testing through a simple cheek swab. Once tested, our nutrigenomic panel
reports provide the patient's SNP (polymorphism) analysis of 150+ genes. Our proprietary software, then further
provides interpretation of the each abnormal genetic result in order to quickly
assist the practitioner in recommending only the targeted supplements that are
needed along with health precautions and key health information for the
patient.
"The goal of the GX Sciences' panels
is to scientifically evaluate and nutritionally support the functional uniqueness
of each patient in a precision medicine approach. Many physicians can find
genetics, biochemistry and even nutritional recommendations quite frustrating. My goal for all providers is to make
biochemistry fun again and to simplify and consolidate the ongoing medical
knowledge of functional nutrition into an easy-to-use clinical tool that helps
each patient and practitioner alike."
- Kendal Stewart, MD / Founder and Chief Medical Officer
15 Nutrigenomic Panels To Choose From To Offer Your Patient's Their Personalized Nutrigenomic Analysis
Each Panel Provides The Following:
- SNP (Single Nucleotide
Polymorphism) results for each patient tested
- Specific nutritional
recommendations needed to overcome the identified genetic weaknesses
- Specific nutritional products and therapeutic suggestions to make it easy for the patient
- Lifestyle recommendations a patient should consider
- Recommended laboratory tests to
support the findings
Listen To Dr. Stewart Discuss How GX Sciences' Testing Works:
At GX Sciences our focus is on the carefully targeted genetic variants (polymorphisms or SNP), which were found in research to have a significant impact on the body's metabolic pathways, meaning that they participate in the absorption and metabolism of nutrients, detoxifying mechanisms, functioning of the immune system and a tendency toward certain diseases and health issues.
Our proprietary SNP and analysis software, customizes a report via a patient's DNA to provide you with the following:
- Evaluation of 150+ genes for SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms)
- Clinical definitions by our experts on what each SNP means to you and your health
- Recommended nutrients and nutritional oversight on how to overcome genetic weaknesses (SNPs)
- Nutritional product recommendations created by our experts for these particular genetic SNPs
- Health precautions and lifestyle recommendations
- Recommended lab work based upon the patient's DNA results
- Scientific references on each SNP from top medical journals and research abstracts
The scientific study of individualized genetics and nutrition is known as nutritional genomics or nutrigenomics. Nutrigenomic testing accurately identifies each patient's genetic protein variations to identify sites of metabolic weakness. These key proteins are involved in enzyme conversion, nutritional delivery and signaling pathways in the cell.
Abnormalities in specific polymorphisms can negatively affect many physiological and metabolic processes. Overcoming these metabolic weaknesses with the right supplement allows each patient to maximize their genetic variations (SNPs) and maintain optimal health.
MICROSAMPLING VIA BLOOD & URINE ANALYSIS
The value of reduced blood sample sizes is becoming apparent in human testing. Dried Blood Spot (DBS) sampling has already proven to be a viable alternative for many applications in blood analysis, but Microsampling using VAMS technology offers even more advantages. GX Sciences is proud to announce that we will be the 2nd lab in the U.S. to offer this type of testing to provide an easy and quick turnaround process to our providers.
Benefits of Microsampling:
- Allows for home or clinic sampling so the patient does not have to visit a draw station to give blood
- Does not require refrigeration and special handling during shipment
- Is less painful, stressful and the patient can provide the sample in their own home if needed
- Can be performed on those for whom maintaining blood volume/measurements is critical
- Provider may drop ship a kit to a patient so they have the results prior to the patient consultation
Microsampling is still new, but those who understand it have a serious competitive advantage when offering this type of testing to their patients.
There are many DNA testing providers on the market, but they vary considerably in terms of methods, level of expertise, presentation of results, and useful information for the provider and patient. What each provider desires is a precise way to analyze the specific need of each patient. Additionally, insufficient knowledge of the proper nutritional recommendation for the abnormal SNP can lead to costly and ineffective results for the patient. You must be a validated provider to receive your first shipment of nutrigenomic test kits and view the "Practitioner Only" areas of this website.
