Our tests analyze your genetic (DNA) information to discover how your body uses nutrients (as in food, vitamins and supplements); how toxins are eliminated and what happens to any by-products produced.

Your Genetic make-up determines the efficiency of these processes. Your health is a result of how these key processes interact with environmental and lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, stress, smoking and alcohol.

In addition to the thorough genetic screening process, ONETest^TM combines an analysis of your present lifestyle and dietary habits to produce a comprehensive health action protocol. This protocol describes in detail the results of your genetic and lifestyle results together with further informative sections on food groups, vitamins, supplements, minerals and an easy to understand guide to the science behind the service.

Taking the test
The test is easy to take and you administer it yourself:

	A cotton swab rubbed against the inside of your cheek is all that's needed to provide us with a DNA sample.
	Take a ten minutes to complete the ONETestTM 'Lifestyle and Nutritional Assessment.'
	Return the test swab and assessment to us in the package provided and you'll receive your report back in about 14 days.

How we go from a cheek sample to examining your genes

The ONETest^TM Nutritional Assessment
This Assessment is a critical component of the ONETest^TM metabolic profile and has been developed by OPH health and nutritional experts. It is based on the Food Frequency Model. In this approach respondents are asked to report their usual frequency of consumption of each food from a list of foods for a specific period. It is understood that only information on frequency from a list of foods is collected with little detail on other characteristics of the foods eaten, such as the methods of cooking or eating or combinations of foods in meals.

The ONETest^TM assessment does not attempt to quantify nutrient intake at a microgram or gram level. The environment in which the assessment is used and the information that is required do not demand it. It's aim is to estimate the respondent's usual intake. It is easily self administered and requires a modest amount of time to complete. Specifically we aim to evaluate the usual intake of those foods that will impact most on the enzyme variations which have been identified in the screen.
