Core Foundations Panel

Comprehensive genomic baseline for growth, play, learning and sports

The Core Foundations Panel

This is our comprehensive baseline panel for growth, play, learning and sports. It looks at the biological areas that impact your child's long-term health and daily vitality.

Core Foundations DNA Testing

Understanding Your Child's Genetic Foundations

We analyse key genes related to methylation (cellular repair), detoxification, inflammation, and oxidative stress. We also analyse muscle fiber type (power, mixed, endurance), injury susceptibility (tendons and ligaments), and recovery speed.

This panel provides the essential baseline understanding of your child's unique biology, giving you insights that will serve them for their entire life.

Key Biological Areas Analysed

Methylation & Cellular Repair

Analysis of MTHFR and related genes affecting energy production, mood regulation, and cellular repair mechanisms.

Detoxification Pathways

Identify how efficiently your child's body eliminates toxins and processes environmental chemicals.

Inflammation & Oxidative Stress

Understand genetic predisposition to chronic inflammation and antioxidant needs.

Muscle Fiber Type

Discover if your child is naturally dominant in power/speed, endurance, or mixed muscle fibers.

Injury Susceptibility

Analysis of collagen structure genes affecting tendon and ligament strength.

Recovery Speed

Learn your child's genetic recovery rate to optimize rest between activities and prevent overtraining.

Perfect For These Scenarios

Youth Athletes

Optimise recovery & prevent injury

Tailor training schedules to their recovery speed and adjust dietary protein intake to prevent injury before it happens.

General Fatigue

Boost energy & vitality

Learn if your child needs extra vitamins for energy or specific antioxidants to boost their immune defense.

Recurring Minor Illnesses

Strengthen immune system

Identify genetic weaknesses in immune response and take proactive measures.

Proactive Health Management

Prevent before symptoms appear

Get ahead of potential health issues by understanding genetic predispositions.

What Your Child's Report Reveals

1

Nutritional Needs

Discover exactly which vitamins and minerals your child needs more of based on their genetic variants. From B12 to Vitamin D, we identify specific deficiencies.

2

Training Optimization

Learn whether your child is built for power sports (sprinting, football) or endurance activities (swimming, cross-country) and train accordingly.

3

Injury Prevention

Identify if your child has higher risk for soft tissue injuries and get specific pre-hab exercises and nutritional support to strengthen ligaments.

4

Antioxidant Support

Understand your child's oxidative stress levels and get recommendations for specific antioxidants to boost immune defense.

5

Methylation Status

Learn about MTHFR and other methylation genes affecting energy, mood, and repair. Get exact B-vitamin form recommendations.

6

Detoxification Profile

Discover how efficiently your child eliminates toxins and get lifestyle recommendations to support natural detox pathways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Core Foundations Panel

Does the test require a blood draw?

No. All our tests can be done using a non-invasive buccal (internal cheek) swab. It is painless, easy to perform, and takes less than a minute. It is completely safe for children of all ages.

What is the ideal age for this test?

While genomics do not change, our reports are tailored specifically for children and teenagers aged 6 to 17. This is the window where lifestyle interventions have the most profound impact on long-term development.

How long does it take to get results?

Once the sample arrives at the lab, it typically takes 3 to 4 weeks to process the DNA and generate your personalised report. You will receive a notification as soon as your report is ready.

What is methylation and why does it matter?

Methylation is a biochemical process that affects energy, mood, and repair. If your child has a "slow" methylation gene (like MTHFR), they may struggle to process Folic Acid, leading to fatigue or mood issues. We tell you exactly which form of B-vitamins they need.

Will this tell me if my child will be a pro athlete?

It won't predict if they will be an Olympian, but it will tell you where their natural advantages lie. We identify if they are genetically dominant in Power/Speed or Endurance, helping them choose sports where they will naturally excel.

Can this help prevent sports injuries?

Yes, it's a powerful prevention tool. We analyze genes responsible for collagen structure and tendon strength. If your child has a "soft tissue injury" risk, we recommend specific pre-hab exercises and nutritional support like Collagen and Vitamin C.

Do I need to re-take this test as my child grows?

No. Your child's DNA sequence does not change. The results are valid for their entire life. However, how you apply the advice may change as they move from childhood to adolescence.

Is my child's genetic data secure?

Absolutely. We do not sell, lease, or rent your child's individual-level personal information or genetic data to any third party, insurance company, or employer. We use an ISO certified lab.
