DNA Active

DNA Active is designed to guide you on your journey to live a healthier and more active life, and help you reach your performance goals.

Genes are segments of DNA that contain the instructions your body needs to make each of the many thousands of proteins required for life. Each gene is comprised of thousands of combinations of “letters” (called bases) which make up your genetic code. The code gives the instructions to make the proteins required for proper development and function. Genetic variations can affect the expression of a gene, thereby affecting metabolic processes that are important for maintaining a state of health. Knowledge of these variations offers a powerful advantage, enabling personalised exercise and nutritional recommendations aimed at optimising health and athletic performance.
