Its DNA assessments provide information that enables the customization of nutritional products, skincare products and health maintenance regimens genetically matched to an individual customer's needs.

Genetic Variation and Personalized Health

In recent years scientists have discovered that each of us has unique "genetically determined" body chemistries. Even small variations in your genes can have a profound influence on how well your body responds to food, physical activity, environmental pressures and how you may be predisposed to a wide variety of other important health and physiologic conditions.

Long before it was trendy for companies to begin talking about "personalized health" GeneLink was taking a leadership roll in the development of individualized therapies by focusing on four important genomic areas:

Nutragenetics - The study of the relationship between our nutrient intake and gene function, with a particular emphasis of how this information could be applied to optimize an individual’s overall health regimen.

Dermagenetics® - GeneLink’s pioneering research and development efforts literally launched the exciting new field of Dermagenetics® –the scientific application of genomic sciences to guide personalized, more effective skin care products and therapies.

Applied Technologies - GeneLink innovations led the company to develop a proprietary mass customization system for nutritional supplements and skin care product delivery. In 2005, GeneLink introduced DNA UltraCustom™ - the first scientifically proven anti-aging skin-care products for consumers based on their individual Skin-DNA profile.

Pharmacogenenomics – The study of the effects of individual genetic variations on drug response aimed at the development of therapies that maximize benefit or minimize side effects in individuals.

World Class Scientific Group

GeneLink’s impeccably credentialed scientific group is comprised of leading scientists and researchers in the fields of biotechnology, genomics, molecular biology, chemistry, medicine, clinical laboratory medicine and nutritional sciences. As a group they have over 500 peer reviewed publications and abstracts, numerous awards, dozens of patents and distinguished careers with some of the world’s foremost public and private biosciences corporations as well as universities.

GeneLink’s developmental pipeline incorporates important Medical and Pharmacogenomic research areas such as genetic assessments for early the detection of Alzheimer’s and Dementia, Cardiovascular Disease, Metabolic Syndrome and innovative methods for DNA collection.

Pioneering Technologies

On May 1st, 2007, GeneLink was granted a U.S. Patent for "Kits and Methods for Assessing Skin Health" – the third patent to be granted from a family of patent applications filed by GeneLink in the U.S. and abroad.

GeneLink is the first (and only) company to be granted a patent for a therapeutic skin health regimen linked to DNA-based skin health assessment.

A partial list of national and international patents (and patents pending) includes: Kits and Methods for Assessing Oxidative Stress; Kits and Methods for Assessing Cardiovascular Health; Kits and Methods for Assessing Bone Health; Kits and Methods for Assessing Coenzyme Q Reducing Status.

To support its vision, GeneLink has developed an impressive portfolio of DNA-based assessments and proprietary systems for individually tailored product manufacture and delivery: (See Products)
