What is pharmacogenetic testing
What is「pharmacogenetic」testing？
- A gene is a “specification” of DNA sequences that carry genetic information passed down from parent to child. This specification helps us understand the risk of disease, unique physical condition, and more importantly, whether you are suitable for a drug, have allergies, need to adjust the dose, and other important information about taking medication.
- Therefore, pharmacogenetic test results can provide physicians with more reference information to help them give patients the most appropriate medications and doses.

Xenoestrogens Profile
Read moreArtificial chemicals in the environment enter human bodies or other organisms by exposure to environmental pollutions or food chain and become endocrine-disrupting chemicals to imitate, interfere, and even inhibit human bodies from normal hormone operations and influence physiological regulation. Apart from the widely known impacts on reproductive systems and the growth of the central nervous system, artificial chemicals can cause a decline in immunity along with an increased risk of contracting infertility, endometriosis, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. This non-invasive test serves as a reference indicator for doctors to conduct personal health management by evaluating frequent sources of exposure in the environment to monitor the daily amount of digestion or exposure.
