UPCOMING EVENTS: GENETIC TESTS AND GUT MICROBIOME – 9 SEPTEMBER
MyDetox assesses the genetic markers associated with the liver’s Phase I and Phase II enzymes to determine, on a personalized basis, the capacity to metabolize substances and drugs.
Liver detoxification is the liver’s ability to neutralize toxic substances coming from the environment, diet, medications or the body’s own metabolism.
This process takes place in two distinct phases. Individual genetics directly affects the efficiency of the enzymes involved in both phases, which determines how each person breaks down and eliminates toxic substances and drugs.
The liver processes toxins in two sequential phases. MyDetox assesses the genetic variants of the enzymes involved in both, determining the individual efficiency of each one.
Phase I enzymes — mainly the cytochrome P450 (CYP) family — break down toxic substances through oxidation, reduction and hydrolysis reactions. This phase transforms the original compounds into intermediate metabolites, which can be more reactive and need to be processed by Phase II.
Phase II enzymes — such as glutathione transferases (GST), UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT), N-acetyltransferases (NAT) and sulfotransferases (SULT) — conjugate the intermediate metabolites with molecules that make them water-soluble, allowing their elimination from the body through urine or bile.
MyDetox is aimed at healthcare professionals who want to understand how their patients metabolize food and medications, with the aim of personalizing diet and preventing adverse drug responses.
MyDetox analyzes genetic variants of more than 50 genes grouped into four functional blocks: Phase I, Intermediate Phase, Phase II and transport genes.
A simple, non-invasive process designed for clinical practice.
Saliva sample following the kit instructions. Painless, with no prior preparation required.
Variants of more than 50 genes involved in Phase I and Phase II enzymes are analyzed.
Results by gene and by phase, with an indication of individual enzymatic efficiency.
The report is interpreted with a doctor or healthcare professional to guide clinical decisions.
The report presents the analysis of each gene assessed, grouped by phase and enzymatic family, with indications on individual metabolic efficiency.
It is the liver’s ability to neutralize toxic substances from the environment or generated by the body. It takes place in two phases: in Phase I, toxins are broken down by enzymes of the cytochrome P450 family, and in Phase II they are conjugated with molecules that make them water-soluble for elimination.
It analyzes genetic variants of more than 50 genes involved in Phase I and Phase II liver detoxification enzymes. This includes the cytochrome P450 (CYP) family, glutathione transferases (GST), UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT), N-acetyltransferases (NAT), sulfotransferases (SULT) and other genes relevant to transport and cellular protection.
At healthcare professionals who want to understand how their patients metabolize food and medications, with the aim of personalizing diet and avoiding adverse drug reactions.
Depending on the genetic variants present in each enzyme, a person may metabolize certain substances more slowly, normally, or more rapidly than average. This directly affects the effectiveness and safety of certain medications and the ability to eliminate toxins.
No prescription is needed, but it is recommended that the results be interpreted by a healthcare professional, especially regarding drug metabolization. Genetic information should be integrated with the patient’s clinical history.
No. The genetic profile doesn’t change throughout life, so the test is performed only once.
