Myths vs facts: NutriCare | INFINITY DNA-Test and Haut

The NutriCare | INFINITY DNA Test by MyBody-X claims to analyze skin-related traits like collagen metabolism, antioxidant capacity, and wrinkle formation. Fact: Certain SNPs (e.g., in COL1A1, SOD2, GSTP1) show small statistical associations with skin characteristics, but predictive power is very low. Lifestyle factors (UV exposure, diet, smoking, skincare) dominate. Myth: The test can prescribe a personalized cream or diet that significantly reduces wrinkles. Evidence for such actionable recommendations from a single genetic test is weak; many claims are marketing. Consumer DNA tests cannot diagnose skin conditions or reliably predict aging. A more evidence-based approach includes lifestyle assessment, dermatologist consultation, and biomarker testing (e.g., vitamin D, zinc). Use results as curiosity, not medical guidance.
