How are NutriCare | INFINITY DNA-Test and stress related?

The NutriCare | INFINITY DNA-Test likely examines genes such as 5-HTTLPR (SLC6A4) and BDNF, which have been linked to stress regulation. However, the evidence is weak: 5-HTTLPR shows conflicting results for depression risk (NCBI Gene ID 6532), and BDNF variants have only small, indirect effects on stress behavior (NCBI Gene 627). Stress is polygenic and heavily influenced by environment – no single genetic test can reliably predict individual stress responses. The predictive value of such tests is therefore limited. Consumers should not make health decisions based solely on these results. Safety note: Overinterpreting genetic risk may cause unnecessary anxiety. Evidence: mostly mechanistic and population-based, not clinically validated.
