Why personalised nutrition is the way to go
Standard nutrition guidelines are based on the average population. But you’re not average. You’re unique. And so your nutrition should be unique too.

FAQ's
How long does it take to get my results?
We will send you your results and personal nutrition report 10-14 days after we receive your DNA sample at the lab.
Do my results include a personalised meal plan?
Alas no, but your report will help you better plan your meals and provide instructions on how to incorporate the NGX BodyFuel nutrition shake into your daily routine. For more tips on how to take BodyFuel to help you achieve your goals check out our blog here.
Will my report tell me if I’m likely to be deficient in certain vitamins?
Yes indeed. Our DNA can have a significant impact on the way our body uses nutrients, such as how these vitamins and minerals are absorbed, transported, activated, and eliminated from the body. By analysing specific genes associated with the metabolism of a range of nutrients, we can tell you what your unique vitamin and mineral needs are, and therefore any potential deficiencies you might have. It might sound complicated, but we’ll keep it simple when we send you your report.
Can I see a sample nutrition report?
Certainly. Check out a sample report. Your NGX report will help you discover how to unlock new levels of fitness, health and wellbeing. It includes your DNA results, personalised nutrition recommendations, carbohydrate and fat sensitivity, gluten and lactose tolerance, vitamin needs and much, much more.
Can I buy more than one DNA test on my account?
If you want to order for more than one person, then please message us using the chat function or email us at contact@nutri-genetix.com.
How do you send my results?
You will receive your results and personal nutrition report via the email you registered with us 10-14 days after we receive your DNA sample at the lab.
Will I need to take another DNA test in the future?
No, because your genes do not change over time. This means you can be sure that your personalised NGX BodyFuel blend will provide the exact nutrients your body needs to achieve your goals.
What genes do you test for?
To understand your unique nutritional requirements, our DNA Nutrition test analyses 28 of the most well researched genes relating to how we process and metabolise nutrients. These include the LCT and HLA genes, which can help us identify your tolerance of lactose and gluten, among other key reactions in the body. You can find out more about the genes we test for here.
Can I get further support after my DNA test?
You sure can. If you want to dive deeper into your results, you can book a free 15-minute consultation with one of our friendly nutritionists. Whether you want to understand your report in more detail, or have specific questions regarding your results, they can help. To book your consultation you will find a link inside your personal nutrition report.
Where do I register my barcode?
This bit is especially important. Please enter the correct barcode number from your swab via our site here. All the instructions are on the page there.
Can I post the ‘Freepost Envelope’ as it is?
You certainly can. Collect your sample using the cheek swab we sent you and place it back inside the RapidDri Pouch. Peel the sticky barcode label off and use it to seal the top of the pouch. Then place the pouch in the pre-paid Freepost NGX envelope, seal it and pop it into your nearest post box. You don’t need to do anything else.
