Pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing is performed by Nutrigenomix Labs in Canada using a safe and non-invasive buccal cheek swab collection kit. The ultimate goal of PGx testing is to minimise the risk of adverse reactions and aid in the prediction of drug effectiveness on an individual level.

The test analyses variations in genes for over 150 drugs (or drug combinations) over a range of therapeutic areas that include mental health, pain, and cardiology. All recommendations are based on high-quality evidence from key regulatory bodies and expert consortia in pharmacogenetics.

The results of the PGx test allow healthcare providers to have a more tailored approach which can reduce trial-and-error in prescribing and minimise the risk of adverse drug reactions.

Research suggests that up to 80% of variability in drug efficacy and safety could be accounted for by genetic factors. The PGx test results are relevant over the course of a lifetime by predicting drug effectiveness and can be used as a tool to guide medication use for healthcare practitioners.

Body Fabulous does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or medical treatment. Factors such as age, diet, ethnicity, family health history, and/or personal health not related to genetics can also impact the likelihood of developing certain conditions or exhibiting certain drug reactions.

Therefore, individuals may not always exhibit the drug response expected or consistent with their genetic test results. The test results are based upon probabilities of either increased toxicity or decreased effectiveness of a given drug.

Based on testing results, individuals should make no changes to medical care including, but not limited to, changes in dosage or frequency of medication without the advice of and consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.

There are no special storage or transport requirements and you can return any day of the week. You can take this test at any time of day, there is no need to stop taking medications or supplements prior to taking your sample. As long as cheek swabs are stored in the specimen bag that is provided with the buccal swab kit, samples should remain viable for up to 6 months.

Yes, we can now ship this test all over the world (with the exception of China, India, Mexico, Costa Rica, Iran, Lebanon and Russia). Please select your country at checkout. We use FedEx to deliver our kits, tracking is provided and deliveries usually arrive in 2-5 working days.

The test kits are declared as "$2 per kit value" and usually do not require customs import fees. However, some customs agents may apply charges. If contacted, declare the value as $2 per test kit to match the lab's documentation. A copy of the commercial invoice can be provided if needed.

We provide approved packaging for the return of the sample, but outside UK, USA, Australia & Canada you are responsible for arranging and paying for return postage. All lab reports are provided in English.

The return package provided for these countries has prepaid postage affixed on it so you can simply pop your sample into any postbox for free returns. If you choose courier return instead, you will need to pay for the courier fees. We provide return customs paperwork to support you. If you need help completing commercial invoices or customs paperwork, please contact info@mybodyfabulous.co.uk.

Each test is processed in the CLIA-certified laboratory. All physical samples are completely destroyed after 6 months. The client report, the data and the DNA sample is never (and will never be) shared with, or sold to third parties.
