Genetic foundation of oestrogen balance
DNA Oestrogen is a nutrigenetic test that analyzes genetic variations involved in oestrogen metabolism and the pathways responsible for their neutralization and elimination.
Scientific evidence shows that increased lifetime exposure to oestrogens and impaired oestrogen metabolism are significant risk factors for breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer, as well as oestrogen-dominant conditions such as endometriosis and premenstrual syndrome.
The test helps determine how efficiently the body processes and clears oestrogens and their metabolites, and whether hormonal imbalance may be forming at the biochemical level.
How the oestrogen metabolism profile is built
There is substantial inter-individual variability in the metabolism of steroid hormones, carcinogens, and the function of phase I and phase II detoxification pathways.
Genetic variations within these systems make it possible to identify subgroups of women and men with increased lifetime exposure to oestrogens, their active metabolites, and other potentially unfavorable compounds.
DNA Oestrogen creates a personalized profile that reflects hormonal metabolism patterns, detoxification capacity, and potential areas of risk that may benefit from targeted correction.
Personalized strategies for hormonal support
DNA Oestrogen results are used to individualize nutrition, nutraceutical support, and, when appropriate, hormonal strategies.
The report supports the selection of dietary and nutrient-based interventions that promote healthy oestrogen metabolism, reduce the burden on detoxification systems, and help maintain hormonal balance.
This approach is particularly relevant when planning hormonal contraception, hormone replacement therapy, bioidentical hormone protocols, and reproductive medicine programs.
