Welcome to the future of Personalised Healthcare!

GeneCare^®allows you and your healthcare practitioner to benefit from breakthroughs in genetic research and the latest technology to make informed steps towards improving quality of life with the use of specific lifestyle changes including appropriate exercise, diets and nutritional supplements.

GeneCare extends genetic laboratory testing facilities for disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment to people all over the world. Acquiring your genetic profile knowledge early in life is fundamental to healthy ageing for everyone.

GeneCare is committed to improving our quality of life by understanding individual gene profiles and empowering people to lead healthier lives with the power of Nutrigenomics and practical health solutions.

You and your Genes

Genomics is relevant to every medical speciality. Thus genetic testing, when coupled with clinical diagnosis and conventional pathology, provides a solid basis for the implementation of personalised medicine, especially in the emerging fields of pharmacogenomics (gene-pharmaceutical interactions) and nutrigenomics (gene-nutrient interactions).

Genes hold the information for growth, development and maintenance of your body:  helping to determine all of our characteristics. Every gene is composed of a strand of DNA which is ”read” by the body in order to make the proteins and enzymes responsible for the way your body functions. A change in the gene (sometimes called a mutation or polymorphism) may alter the instruction that it sends to the rest of the body.

Not all polymorphisms are bad – it is because of polymorphisms that we have such great diversity. However, some polymorphisms influence our predisposition to certain conditions. GeneCare's genetic test identifies up to 10,000 polymorphisms to deliver individualised genetic risk reports which can help better manage your lifestyle and assist you be proactive regarding your health.

Scientists have long been trying to understand how our genes interact with our environment, our diets and our lifestyles to make us who we are. The more we learn and understand our genome, the more we can do to improve our general health, assist to prevent the onset of illness and improve our quality of life. Learning about our genes can help up to answer questions like: "What food should I eat sparingly, or more of?" or "Do I have an increased genetic predisposition to a disease that I should know about?"

Once you have the information, you and your healthcare practitioner can take the appropriate steps to minimise your risks and enhance your health outcomes.
