We analyze over 100 genetic markers that influence how your body metabolizes different nutrients. We then combine your genetic results with research on nutritional genomics to determine your recommended intake level for carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. We base your recommendations on evidence-based research correlating your genetic variants with nutrition that’s shown positive health outcomes. We also provide insights on your sensitivity to lactose and gluten, and your metabolic rate of caffeine and alcohol.

GenoPalate uses curated evidence-based scientific literature to identify and validate gene-nutrition impactful relationships. GenoPalate further evaluates and scores the strength of these relationships in relation to metabolic health outcomes and uses our proprietary algorithm to link your DNA blueprint to nutrition recommendations that have been shown to benefit your specific genotype. We then match your nutrition recommendations with 100+ foods, allowing you to start eating for your genes!

You have two copies of each gene, one from your mom and one from your dad. Your genotype refers to the two nucleotides (A, C, G, or T) found at the same location on each copy of a gene.

GenoPalate does not provide recommendations for food allergies as your DNA alone is not able to diagnose your food allergies (nut, soy, shellfish, etc.). Allergic reactions begin in your immune system and can be further influenced by numerous factors, including your environment.

Because weight is influenced by a number of factors, GenoPalate cannot guarantee weight loss. We provide you with nutrition and food recommendations, based on your genes, to help you eat better for a healthier life.

While your GenoPalate recommendations are personalized based on many factors including your genes, age, gender, and food preferences, they are currently not influenced by current health conditions or modifications. While GenoPalate provides sound evidence-based foundational recommendations, other elements may need to be taken into account, such as any prescribed dietary plan, medications, supplements, and so forth. GenoPalate does not take the place of a medical exam or professional advice. We encourage you to incorporate GenoPalate’s product along with recommendations from your healthcare team.

We are! Research is a new program that we have started at GenoPalate and we urge you to participate in it. This study may not benefit you directly, but your participation will add value in enhancing the knowledge and understanding between genetics, health and wellness not only for you, but also for others.

Our goal is to create a research environment of studying personalized nutrition at GenoPalate. We plan to create a quality knowledge base for fostering and supporting scientific research, as well as innovative solutions to health and nutrition.

When you give us your consent for participation, we will use your de-identified genomic data, along with the information you share with us through questionnaires and surveys, in our research.

Please give your consent by checking the box “I have read this document and I give consent” provided at the end of the consent form in your GenoPalate account.

You will not be charged for participating in this program. GenoPalate will cover the cost of this research. 

We will keep your data secured in our database for 10 years from the date the data is collected from you. At the end of this time period, your sample will be discarded and your data will be deleted from our research database.

In order to protect your data, the files of the genotyped data that are de-identified are stored in a secure server at GenoPalate, which can only be accessed by GenoPalate researchers. This data will not be sold.

We may contact you if we feel that we need additional details regarding your family, your lifestyle, and your behavioral choices.

You can skip those questions, please only answer the questions you are comfortable with.

This study is for research purposes only to help us further explore how certain genetic variants impact overall health. You may opt-out of this study at any time. There are no negative consequences for not participating or opting out of this study

A biobank is a repository where DNA samples are stored and then used later for analyses using advanced technologies for research purposes.

Individuals who purchase the GenoPalate kit have the option to participate in biobanking their sample, but it is not mandatory.

As of now, you do not have to do anything. We have the isolated DNA from the sample you have provided; with your consent, these samples will be stored and can be used for analyses in the future.

No, biobanking your DNA sample is a free service offered to you by GenoPalate.

We will securely store your DNA sample at our Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified and College of American Pathology (CAP)-accredited laboratory.

Yes, you can withdraw from biobanking your sample with the GenoPalate laboratory. There are no negative consequences for opting out.

Please log into “my account” then click on “change your consent” to opt out of biobanking.

Please email us at research@genopalate.com and we will get back to you soon.

Your DNA is completely de-identified and encrypted in our database. This means that no outside affiliate can get to your DNA and that your personal information has been unattached from your DNA.

Your genetic material is carefully disposed of after it has been used to generate your report. Our lab handles this in compliance with CLIA standards.

We ask you to be responsible for safeguarding your password and other authentication information you use with GenoPalate.

Our upload is SSL encrypted, keeping your file private and integral.

Your DNA is analyzed on what is called a microarray. These arrays measure hundreds of thousands of genetic variants. Companies then analyze the variants specific to the product that they are offering. At GenoPalate, we analyze the variants that relate to nutrition.
