What You'll Discover

Actionable insights across every aspect of your athletic performance. These are just six of the insights you can expect to see from the 50 SNPs this test measures.

Power vs Endurance

Discover your muscle fibre composition and whether you're built for explosive power or sustained endurance.

Sample: Endurance Dominant

Recovery Speed (Physical)

Learn how quickly your body repairs muscle damage and clears inflammation after intense training.

Sample: Moderate Recovery

Injury Risk Profile

Identify genetic vulnerabilities in tendons and ligaments to prevent injuries before they happen.

Sample: Low Risk

Fat Burning Efficiency

Could you train to burn fat more efficiently? No lactate production from fat oxidation means faster recovery between stations.

Low Fat Burner High Fat Burner

Creatine Response

Up to 30% of Europeans are genetic "zero responders" to creatine supplementation. Discover if it works for you.

Zero Responder High Responder

Lactate Clearance Efficiency

Discover how efficiently your body clears lactate during high-intensity exercise — key to recovery between efforts.
