Heart Health Genetic Test that identifies a person's genetic predisposition for a certain type of heart disease. The genetic analysis identifies variations in the IL1 gene, which is associated with inflammation. Excess inflammation has been implicated as a significant risk factor for heart disease.

Nutritional Needs Genetic Test that identifies DNA variations in genes crucial to B-vitamin metabolism and the ability to manage oxidative stress. Individuals that show suboptimal results for the genes can be at increased risk for ineffective utilization of B-vitamins and potential for cell damage caused by oxidative stress.

Bone Health Genetic Test identifies whether an individual is more likely to be susceptible to spine fractures and low bone mineral density associated with osteoporosis. This new test is expected to be available by the end of 2009.
