NutriGene Plant Based (Vegan) at Getchecked Clinic in Dubai. Explore genetic insights relevant to plant-based nutrition and lifestyle. NutriGene Plant Based reviews genetic factors related to nutrient metabolism, eating habits, activity, weight management and cardiometabolic health. These insights can support an individual discussion about your plant-based eating pattern. They do not measure current vitamin or mineral levels, confirm dietary adequacy or diagnose food allergy.
• Nutrient absorption from plant sources (vitamin B12/FUT2 and TCN1, iron/HFE and TMPRSS6, calcium/VDR, zinc transporters, omega-3 conversion from ALA via FADS1/FADS2)
• Protein metabolism and requirements
• Carbohydrate processing (AMY1 for starch, TCF7L2 for glucose)
• Antioxidant needs (SOD2, GPX1, CAT)
• Folate metabolism (MTHFR already optimal in plant-rich diets)
• Vitamin D requirements (VDR, GC)
• Plant antinutrient processing
• Phytoestrogen metabolism
• Weight management on plant-based nutrition (FTO, MC4R)
• Identifies genetic requirements for supplementation and optimal plant-food selection
It explores genetic factors related to weight management, cardiometabolic health, food responses, physical activity, eating habits and nutrient metabolism.
This test uses a cheek swab. Preparation: The nurse will guide you.
NutriGene Plant Based (Vegan) costs AED 2,900 at Getchecked Clinic. Results take 10–15 days.
No. Genetic nutrient-metabolism insights are not measurements of current nutrient levels and cannot diagnose deficiencies or confirm that your diet meets your nutritional needs. Your clinician can advise whether separate tests are appropriate.
No. Interpret the findings alongside your current diet, medical history and any relevant clinical assessments. Discuss changes with an appropriately qualified professional. The test does not diagnose food allergy or guarantee weight-loss or health outcomes.
