The Book of You
It’s time to decipher your genetic code
Understanding your genetic profile and how your body likely processes key vitamins and minerals, is an important step in developing a healthy nutrition program. The DRC Genetics analysis is tailored to your unique genetic makeup, providing insights into areas for improvement and a personalized roadmap for optimization. Even if you eat a perfectly balanced diet with plenty of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, most of us have some difficulty absorbing and metabolizing (breaking down) one or more nutrients at the cellular level. A simple mouth swab provides a comprehensive analysis of your genetic predisposition to absorbing micronutrients in your diet.
What makes DRC-GX different?
Developed by Dr Christina Rahm, Bioscience Engineer, DRC-GX genetic testing is in a class of its own! This test focuses on significant, actionable genes and explores their influence on your everyday performance. In addition to the testing (shown below) you will also receive the "Book of You" providing a comprehensive analysis of your current health condition. And, going even a step further, you will receive the correlating Nutraceutical solutions that Dr Rahm has linked within the test!! Receiving not only the "problem" but also the "solution" makes DRC-GX stand apart from the rest!
