Nutritional DNA: Your personal blueprint to optimal health.
Mako Medical Laboratories is launching a new genetic test targeted for nutrition under the new brand MakoDNA after three years of research, testing, and collaboration. The purpose of the new genetic test is to help people know specifically what their body needs and what foods should be eaten to optimize performance. “For way too long, we have all guessed about what type of foods we should eat. There are many myths out there. Is an egg healthy? What new diet is best for me? What foods should I eat to improve performance? Vegan or Keto? All of us have been guessing,” said Chad Price, President of Mako Medical. “We spend so much time and money on our health without really knowing.” With their new genetic test, things are about to change.
At Clean Beauty Reset we've heard of nutrition based on DNA for years, but this is the first genetic test we've heard of that has an individualized meal plan specific to you and is tailored to the nutritional needs your body has. According to John Nguyen, President of MakoDNA, “I have spent my life teaching martial arts and have trained some of the top fighters in the country and have always had to guess on what I thought was best for enhancing performance. The problem was the results varied and I was guessing.”
There is a growing demand for nutrition, whether that is an increased focus on natural/organic food, medical conditions such as obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure, or the desire for physical/mental performance improvements. Tremendous scientific progress in genetics and nutrition has brought a deep understanding of how the genetic structure of each individual alters his or her own nutritional requirements. This allows not only for the optimization of human performance (in areas such as speed, muscular strength, endurance, and mental focus) through nutrition but also to identify the genetically related potential of an individual for physical performance. This can be used to identify untapped potential between performance and genetic potential and could possibly be used as a factor to compare candidates for selection.
MakoDNA claims Nutritional DNA can optimize:
Physical endurance
Mental sharpness & clarity
Long-term durability
Emotional stability
Weight control
Reflex / Reaction time
Power and strength
How It Works:
Visit MakoDNA & register your kit.
Swab your cheek.
Send swab for testing.
Access results online in approximately 4-6 weeks.
According to MakoDNA, the entire process for the DNA genetic test is simple, "MakoDNA ships a kit to your home. A swab is used to collect saliva. The sample is shipped back to MAKO, where the DNA is analyzed. The identified genetic variations are fed into the algorithm-generating pipeline. A nutrigenetic report becomes available online (patient/consumer portal), which offers the newly defined nutritional targets. The same data is also fed to the meal plan generator." After analysis, you are then offered both a nutrigenetic report and a customizable meal plan.
To order your test visit MAKODNA.com, or if you are in the United States, visit your local pharmacy, gym and workout facility, college and university, and local medical provider to purchase your test.
