Although there are multiple circumstances behind human diseases, hereditary fundamentals have made it up to the top in explaining why or predicting how people can preserve their health.
We as individuals walk around carrying a whole set of genes that reflect our family’s sociocultural and economic experiences. If these genes could predict our appearances and behavior at birth, then the next question that arises is—Do these genes also have the ability to predict our health? If they do, then it can be a breakthrough in assuring that humans would never catch diseases and live healthier.
For decades, human genetics has been studying how variation in a gene could contribute to variations in disease risk. And it has been concluded that genes do have a connection in predicting complex diseases such as Cardiovascular diseases, Diabetes, Autoimmune disorders, and psychiatric illness. They can also help us understand how these medical conditions turn out.
24Genetics is a leading DNA company that runs on this proven principle of genetics to help customers seek answers to questions like — “What diet will be better to lose weight?” or “How can I improve my sports performance?” and other hereditary factors that may define them. Based in Europe, the company runs under European Law, attaining the trust of thousands of customers from all over the world.
Through its DNA kit, customers can attain seven categories of information: Ancestory, Health, Nutrigenetics, Skin Care, Talent and Personality, Sports and Pharmacogenetics. However, they can also buy a single test online today and later order any other report.
Under the adept leadership of Nacho Esteban, CEO, the company has the most comprehensive DNA tests on the market. Unlike other tests, it has hundreds of sections on each category to ensure that the client attains full information about his/her genetics.
In addition, its DNA test runs on an algorithm that is much more advanced and two years ahead of any other DNA test in the market, making it reliable and worthy of the existing genetic science today.
