Vitality Genetic Test Package (GSTM1/GSTT1, MTHFR C677T/A1298C)

Product detailed description

The Vitality Genetic Test Package analyzes inherited genetic variations associated with folate metabolism, homocysteine processing, and selected enzymes involved in the body's natural detoxification pathways. The test focuses on the GSTM1, GSTT1, and MTHFR genes, which play important roles in various cellular and metabolic processes.

The GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes encode enzymes belonging to the glutathione S-transferase family. These enzymes help the body process certain environmental compounds and byproducts of cellular metabolism. The MTHFR gene encodes an enzyme involved in folate (vitamin B9) metabolism, which is essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and homocysteine metabolism.

The test examines the MTHFR C677T and A1298C variants and genetic changes in GSTM1 and GSTT1, which may influence the activity of their respective enzymes.

What does the Vitality Genetic Test Package analyze?

• Natural detoxification pathways – genetic variations in GSTM1 and GSTT1 involved in processing certain compounds.

• Folate metabolism – MTHFR C677T and A1298C variants associated with differences in enzyme activity.

• Homocysteine metabolism – genetic factors that may influence homocysteine processing.

• Cellular metabolism – insights into selected enzymes involved in normal metabolic functions.

Who may benefit from this genetic test?

• Individuals interested in genetic factors associated with folate and homocysteine metabolism.

• People seeking to understand inherited differences in selected detoxification enzymes.

• Those interested in the role of genetics in cellular and metabolic processes.

• Anyone interested in personalized health insights and preventive healthcare.

What can the results reveal?

The Vitality Genetic Test Package provides an overview of the tested variants in the GSTM1, GSTT1, and MTHFR genes. Results offer additional information about genetic factors involved in folate metabolism, homocysteine processing, and certain biochemical detoxification pathways.

These findings may complement an individualized assessment of metabolic health.

Important: Genetic variants alone do not determine the body's overall ability to eliminate harmful substances, energy levels, or general health. Common MTHFR variants do not independently establish folate deficiency or elevated homocysteine. This test is intended for informational purposes and does not replace laboratory testing or medical evaluation.
