Omega-3 Index Testing
Omega-3 fatty acids support your heart, brain and a healthy inflammatory response — but most people don’t know their levels.

MTHFR Gene Testing
The MTHFR gene plays a key role in methylation — a process that affects detoxification, energy and how your body uses folate. This test identifies common MTHFR variations, helping explain why you may respond differently to nutrients. Your practitioner can then personalise supplementation to support your methylation needs.
