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

Myths vs facts: NutriCare & Infinity DNA test and menopause. The claim that a DNA test can predict the onset or course of menopause or provide personalized nutrition advice is weakly supported by science. Menopause is a complex hormonal process influenced by many factors – genetics play a role, but polygenic risk scores from consumer tests have limited predictive value. Studies show lifestyle, diet, and environment have greater impact than single gene variants. These tests often use GWAS markers not validated for all ancestries. Facts: A DNA test cannot diagnose or reliably predict menopause timing. Personalized dietary recommendations based on such tests are often overclaimed. Safety note: For menopause symptoms, consult a healthcare provider, not just a DNA test.
