Data-Driven Individuals
For biohackers and high performers looking to align their fitness and recovery strategy with their genetic profile.
Endurance Capacity
Analysis of genetic variants influencing aerobic metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis, and VO₂ max. Includes markers such as PPARA (rs4253778), SIRT1 (rs41299232), GABPB1 (rs12594956), and TFAM (rs1937), associated with oxygen utilisation and slow-twitch muscle fibre expression.
Muscle Strength and Hypertrophy Potential
Evaluation of genes regulating muscle growth, fibre architecture, and force output. Includes ACTN3 (rs1815739), IGF1 (rs35767), CKM (rs8111989), HIF1A (rs11549465), and PPARGC1A (rs8192678), linked to sarcomeric structure, anabolic response, and satellite cell activation.
Anaerobic Power and Explosiveness
Genetic assessment of power phenotypes including fast-twitch muscle fibre ratio, neuromuscular efficiency, and reaction speed. Notable variants include NOS3 (rs2070744), ADRB2 (rs1042713), NRXN3 (rs8011870), and PPARG (rs2920503).
Recovery Efficiency and Inflammation Modulation
Analysis of markers involved in oxidative stress, muscle repair, and inflammatory response. Includes IL6 (rs1800795), UCP2 (rs660339), GSTP1 (rs1695), and NFATC4 (rs2229309), which affect post-exercise recovery and muscle soreness.
Injury Susceptibility
Identification of polymorphisms associated with ligament and tendon integrity, as well as risk for conditions like Achilles tendinopathy and lumbar disc disease. Genes analysed include COL1A1 (rs1800012), MMP3 (rs679620), and CILP (rs2073711).
Exercise Response and Trainability
Exploration of genetic differences affecting aerobic and anaerobic adaptation to physical training. Includes PPARD (rs2267668) and CDKN1A (rs236448), which influence cellular stress response and VO₂ max improvement.
Metabolic Profile and Energy Regulation
Assessment of traits linked to resting metabolic rate, obesity risk, and glucose and fat metabolism. Relevant variants include FTO (rs9939609), LEPR (rs8179183), and ADIPOQ (rs17300539).
Micronutrient and Stimulant Response
Genetic impact on absorption and metabolism of key vitamins and substances. This includes GC (rs2282679) for Vitamin D, FUT2 (rs602662) for Vitamin B12, NBPF3 (rs4654748) for Vitamin B6, and CYP1A2 (rs762551) for caffeine metabolism.
