MyInflammation — Inflammation and Oxidative Stress Genetic Test | Overgenes
MyInflammation genetic test

Your genetic inflammation and oxidative stress profile

MyInflammation analyzes how your genetics influences your body’s inflammatory response and antioxidant capacity, two processes that, when out of control, lie behind the main chronic diseases.

The silent cycle

Inflammation and oxidative stress feed each other

Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress don’t act in isolation: they form a cycle that perpetuates itself and accelerates disease development.

Excess free radicals activate inflammatory pathways. Sustained inflammation generates more oxidative stress. This loop damages tissues cumulatively and underlies cardiovascular, metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases.

MyInflammation analyzes your genetic predisposition on both sides of the cycle, making it possible to intervene in a personalized way before damage accumulates.

Two interconnected axes

What MyInflammation analyzes

The test studies the two processes that make up the inflammation–oxidation cycle, identifying genetic variants that shape your biological response.

Chronic inflammation

Identifies genetic variants that affect the tendency toward prolonged inflammatory responses. Persistent low-grade inflammation is a central mechanism in the development of chronic diseases.

  • Pro-inflammatory cytokines: variants that increase baseline production of molecules such as IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β
  • Anti-inflammatory cytokines: IL-10 variants that can reduce the ability to control the inflammatory response
  • Immune regulation: genetic balance between signals that activate and dampen inflammation

Oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity

Analyzes genetic imbalances between free radical production and the body’s ability to neutralize them. When antioxidant defenses are insufficient, cellular damage accumulates and activates inflammatory pathways.

  • Antioxidant enzymes: genetic efficiency of SOD2, GPX, catalase and other cellular detoxification systems
  • Phase II detoxification: variants in GST genes that affect the elimination of reactive compounds
  • Methylation and repair: genetic capacity to regenerate antioxidants and repair oxidative damage

Clinical relevance

Why does it matter to know your inflammatory genetic profile?

Chronic low-grade inflammation doesn’t produce obvious symptoms, but it is a silent risk factor behind the most prevalent diseases.

Knowing your genetic predisposition allows you to act before damage appears: adjust diet, supplementation, exercise and lifestyle habits in a personalized way, instead of following generic recommendations.

Diseases associated with the inflammation–oxidation cycle

  • Cardiovascular diseases (atherosclerosis, hypertension)
  • Metabolic diseases (type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome)
  • Neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s)
  • Autoimmune and inflammatory bowel diseases
  • Premature cellular ageing
  • Greater susceptibility to infections and slower recovery
Who is it aimed at?

MyInflammation indication

People seeking to understand their biology in order to prevent disease, and professionals who need genetic tools to personalize intervention.

Family history

People with a family history of inflammatory, cardiovascular or metabolic diseases who want to understand their genetic risk.

Chronic inflammation

People with symptoms of persistent inflammation, elevated markers (CRP, IL-6) or recurrent conditions with no clear cause.

Personalized prevention

Anyone interested in adjusting their nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle based on their own genetics, not on averages.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about MyInflammation

What does MyInflammation analyze?

It analyzes genetic variants associated with two interconnected processes: chronic inflammation (tendency toward prolonged inflammatory responses mediated by cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β) and oxidative stress (efficiency of the antioxidant enzymes SOD2, GPX, GST and cellular detoxification capacity).

How are inflammation and oxidative stress related?

They form a self-reinforcing cycle: excess free radicals activate inflammatory pathways (such as NF-κB), and sustained inflammation generates more oxidative stress. This loop is a central mechanism in cardiovascular, metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. MyInflammation analyzes your genetic predisposition on both sides of the cycle.

How does it differ from a lab test for inflammatory markers?

A lab test measures the current state (CRP, IL-6, ferritin levels at that moment). MyInflammation measures your permanent genetic predisposition: why your body tends to become more inflamed or to have fewer antioxidant defenses. Together they offer a complete picture: what is happening now and what your genetics predisposes you to in the long term.

Who is it aimed at?

At people with a family history of inflammatory diseases, symptoms of chronic or recurrent inflammation, and those seeking personalized prevention. Also at healthcare professionals (integrative medicine, clinical nutrition, sports medicine) who want to personalize interventions with genetic information.

What kind of recommendations does the report include?

Nutrition recommendations (anti-inflammatory and antioxidant foods based on your profile), supplementation (specific nutrients where your genetics indicates greater need), lifestyle (exercise, rest, stress management) and considerations for the healthcare professional.

Does the test need to be repeated?

No. The genetic profile doesn’t change throughout life. It is performed only once.

Is it a non-invasive test?

Yes. DNA is obtained from a saliva sample, completely painlessly. It is suitable for anyone of any age, with no need for fasting or prior preparation.
