What can the NutriCare | INFINITY DNA-Test tell you — and what not?

The NutriCare | INFINITY DNA test analyzes genetic variants linked to nutrient absorption and metabolism. It can provide clues about how your body handles, for example, vitamin D, folate, vitamin B12, caffeine, lactose, and detoxification pathways (e.g., GSTM1), as well as certain food sensitivities. The underlying associations come from GWAS and mechanistic studies, but effect sizes are generally small and are overshadowed by diet, lifestyle, gut microbiome, and environmental factors. What the test cannot do: It does not make a medical diagnosis, predict disease risk, or replace clinical lab work (e.g., blood levels of vitamin D or B12). Genotype-based dietary recommendations are not sufficiently validated to justify personalized meal plans. The evidence is mixed: some markers (VDR, FUT2) have reproducible associations, but clinical utility remains unclear. Caveat: No test can fully capture the complexity of human metabolism. Consult a physician or registered dietitian before making significant dietary changes.
