DNA analyses at your pharmacy
Understand what makes you unique
Your genetic traits can provide clues about how your body tends to process nutrients. We support you from the sample to your personal results consultation – right here in Görlitz, in German, Polish and English.
DNA analyses do not constitute a medical diagnosis and do not replace a visit to the doctor.
The starting point
Your body’s blueprint – and hardly anyone uses it
Your genes determine how your body is built and how it works: how it uses nutrients, how its metabolism ticks, how it may react to foods and active substances. While a blood test only ever provides a snapshot, a genetic analysis shows long-term predispositions – and makes visible why you react differently to some things than other people do.
In conventional healthcare, this knowledge is rarely used. We take a different approach: we combine your genetic results with what we know about your everyday life, your diet and your goals. It is important to us to remain honest – a DNA analysis is not a diagnosis and does not replace a medical examination. It provides knowledge that allows us to act together in a more targeted way.
What DNA analyses show
Your predispositions, clearly explained
Every person carries a unique combination of genetic traits. Small differences in individual genes can influence how your body utilises nutrients, how your metabolism responds to diet and exercise, how active pharmaceutical ingredients may be processed, or which factors play a role in skin ageing.
A DNA analysis makes these predispositions visible. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace a medical examination – but it provides a personal basis that helps us plan more specifically together.
Analysed once
A result that lasts
The genetic traits analysed do not change over the course of your life. The analysis is carried out once – you can use your report permanently, even if your circumstances change.
We discuss the results with you personally and translate them into recommendations that fit your everyday life. You can also take the report to your doctor or nutritional adviser.
Our approach with you
From the first conversation to the right recommendation
- 01The conversation
Listening before we act
Our approach always begins with a personal conversation. We want to understand what brings you to us, what questions you have about yourself and what your everyday life looks like. That sounds obvious, but in practice very few people take the time for it. For us, it is the foundation of everything that follows.
- 02The analysis
Facts instead of assumptions
The next step is the analysis. The sample is taken quite simply with a saliva test right here at the pharmacy – no blood, no needle. It is analysed in an ISO-certified specialist laboratory by experienced human geneticists, under the highest data protection standards. Your result is ready after about 2–3 weeks: digitally as a PDF and printed as a brochure.
- 03The recommendation
A plan that suits you
Based on these results, we develop an individual recommendation – on diet, weight management, the tolerability of active substances or skin care. What matters is that we support you along the way. Not just at the first appointment, but in the long term, with an open ear for everything that changes.
Four analyses. One of them fits your question.
