We have known for longer than today that DNA research is used to solve crimes and to trace biological relationships . It is clear that we can learn more about ourselves through a DNA analysis and we are only too happy to make use of it. Never before have products and services been so personal. Today, 'DNA-based' sounds like music to the ears. DNA research is today used in both the commercial and medical world.
Pioneers
Like all upcoming trends and concepts, the 'consumer genetics sector' also encounters certain criticisms. The effectiveness of 'DNA-based' is still questioned by some. As a pioneer you have to deal with these different opinions in a positive way and pave the way . Now that we have known for several years what the entire human genome looks like and are aware that there is much more to be discovered, we want to respond to this. And it is clear: not only the beauty sector ventures into DNA research and everything that comes with it.
Below we would like to sum up what you can do with your DNA today. We would like to point out, however, that we have no insight into which 'DNA-based' concepts have proven their effectiveness through scientific studies.
What can you do with your DNA now?
A DATING SITE: FIND YOUR PERFECT MATCH ON THE BASIS OF DNA? CHECK!
DNA Romance is a dating site that selects all suitable (DNA) profiles for you. Thanks to a DNA matchmaking algorithm, the chances of finding your ideal Mr. Meets perfectly .
ADJUST FOOD AND FOOD SUPPLEMENTS TO YOUR DNA? CHECK!
Nutrition also has a major influence on the expression of your genes . It is therefore useful to know what reaction our eating habits provoke. Companies such as Omnigen and Habit respond to this by offering personalized dietary advice based on your DNA. Because you've probably already noticed. Unfortunately, the diet that works for your girlfriend won't work for you.
DNA testing is also often used in top sports . Do you have variations in your genes that can lead to injuries or weak reactions? Then a DNA analysis will show which nutritional supplements are recommended for you.
PERSONALIZED SKIN CARE BASED ON YOUR DNA? CHECK!
Nomige is the first to bring DNA-based personalized skin care to the Belgian market . We join other players in the beauty sector and are invariably convinced that a DNA analysis provides insights that you cannot obtain in any other way.
Nomige attaches great importance to the scientific basis as well as the effectiveness of our products. "Is it working now?" That is why Nomige continues to invest in clinical studies . A recent clinical study has shown that we have a significantly better anti-ageing effect compared to a product that is not tailor-made. We will also try to publish this study. Read some of the preliminary results in our blog.
MEDICATION AND TREATMENT TAILORED TO YOUR DNA PROFILE? CHECK!
Pharmacogenetics can enable personalized therapy and thus form part of a targeted approach to the prevention , diagnosis and pharmaceutical treatment of disorders based on the specific pharmacogenetic profile of the patient.
Patients do not always respond in the same way to a particular drug. One patient has serious side effects when using a certain drug, while others respond well to the same drug and dosage. Medication tailored to your personal DNA profile
could be a solution here. There are fewer side effects , the therapy is more effective , the patients are satisfied and the healthcare costs are ultimately lower. The Netherlands is a leader in genotyping and is increasingly focusing on personalized medicine .
Of course, DNA testing raises some important questions, such as: 'what happens to my DNA?', 'is my data protected?' and 'to what extent do I retain my right to privacy? '. Nomige handles your data very consciously, does not do full genome screening , but only looks at these genes and variations that play a role in the skin aging process. The DNA analyzes are performed anonymously in a certified lab and your DNA is destroyed immediately after the analysis. Your results will also only be shared with you. Would you like to know more about our lab or what exactly happens to your DNA? Read more about in our blog 'Who does our DNA analyses? Who is BaseClear?'.
