Myths vs facts: INFINITY DNA-Test | inkl. 28-Tage-Plan & Rezeptbuch and skin aging

The INFINITY DNA-Test combines genetic analysis with a 28-day plan and recipe book, often marketed with claims about skin aging. The scientific evidence for predicting skin aging directly from single DNA variants is weak. For instance, the COL1A1 variant rs1800012 shows a small statistical association with collagen traits, but its clinical significance is minimal – skin aging is far more influenced by UV exposure, lifestyle, diet, and hormones. The GPX1 variant rs1050450 is sometimes linked to antioxidant defense, but supplementation (e.g., selenium) should only be considered after blood level testing. The 28-day plan and recipe book may promote general healthy eating, but they are not personalized based on your DNA. MyBody-X offers DNA-based tests (NutriCare, Longevity), but the claim that such a test can significantly impact skin aging is overstated. Fact: genetics play only a minor role; the major factors are sun protection, not smoking, balanced nutrition, and skincare. Consumers should be cautious when a DNA test is marketed as an 'anti-aging miracle'.
