Each client is required to read, acknowledge, and agree to the terms in this Consent Form before his/her sample
can be processed. This ensures each client knows what to expect, understands the process, is aware of the benefits,
limitations and potential risks, and understands fully the service being provided before agreeing to proceed.
By agreeing to the conditions in this form, the client authorizes Nutrigenomix to:
- Analyze his/her DNA for specific nutrition and physical activity-related genetic markers and/or markers which
influence individual variation in drug response.
- Store his/her anonymized DNA sample in a safe and secure location, so that as the science develops
he/she will have the option of having additional tests. You may request to have your sample destroyed
by emailing [email protected].
What is Nutrigenomix testing?
Nutrigenomix testing is a safe and non-invasive saliva collection kit or buccal swab developed for use by healthcare
professionals to provide their clients with comprehensive, reliable, genomic information with the ultimate goal of
improving the client’s health and performance through the provision of personalized nutrition and physical activity
recommendations. The Nutrigenomix test kit involves saliva or buccal swab collection, testing of the client’s DNA
for specific nutrition-related markers, and generation of a personalized nutrition and fitness report. The test
analyzes variations in genes that impact nutrient metabolism, eating habits, weight management and body
composition, food intolerances, and physical activity as well as additional genetic markers for health and wellness
and/or drug response. The accuracy of the genetic test results is between 99.7 – 100%.
What are the benefits?
Following the nutrition and physical activity recommendations based on the results of the genetic test has been
shown to reduce the risk of chronic disease and promote optimal health and performance. Research also shows
that individuals who receive DNA-based dietary advice find the information more motivating to adopt healthier
eating habits, and make more changes to their diet compared to when they are given general population-based
dietary advice.
What are the risks?
There are no known risks associated with Nutrigenomix testing. Some individuals may worry that their genetic
information could be used to discriminate against them in their job or for health insurance coverage. In the United
States, the Genetic Information Non-discrimination Act (GINA) was signed into law in May of 2008 and offers
federal protection against such discrimination. The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA) of 1996 prohibits employers and health insurers from excluding individuals from group coverage due to
genetic predisposition to certain diseases. Neither HIPAA nor GINA prohibits life insurance policies from using this
information. Most states in the US have additional and varied legislation intended to safeguard genetic
information. In Canada, the Genetic Non-Discrimination Act (GNA), formally known as Bill S-201, was passed into
law on May 4, 2017. GNA protects individuals from insurance companies and employers from using, requesting or
requiring genetic test results. Under GNA, employers cannot use a person’s genetic test results to make decisions
about hiring, firing, job assignments, or promotions. Under GNA, the Canadian Human Rights Act bans
discrimination based on genetic characteristics. GNA does not prohibit insurers from using information about an
individual's current symptoms and diagnoses, even if the condition has a genetic basis. Family medical history is
not protected by GNA.
Note: Nutrigenomix does not test for disease causing genetic mutations. The test only
includes genes related to nutrition, physical activity and/or individual variation in drug response. Nevertheless,
if an individual has a Nutrigenomix test, he/she is required to answer ‘yes' on any legal forms or questionnaires
that ask whether they have had a genetic test.
What are the limitations?
Nutrigenomix testing is not intended to treat, prevent, mitigate, or cure disease. Nutrigenomix does not provide
medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Factors such as age, diet, ethnicity, family health history, and/or personal
health, not related to genetics can also impact the likelihood of developing certain conditions or exhibiting certain
drug reactions. The test looks at genes that have been shown to modify response to dietary intake and/or to impact
nutrition and physical activity recommendations. Following the recommendations provided does not guarantee
absence of disease. Based on testing results, patients should not make changes to medical care including, but not
limited to, changes in dosage or frequency of medication without the advice of and consultation with a qualified
healthcare professional. The test results are based upon probabilities, and may not provide a 100% definitive
conclusion to either elevated or typical risk.
How will the information be protected?
All personal health information, including Nutrigenomix test results, is protected by the healthcare professional or
clinic providing the test. Each sample is anonymized using a barcode and this is entered into a password protected
online system. Nutrigenomix uses a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol to encrypt information that is transmitted
over the Internet. This technology uses 256-bit encryption, which ensures that confidential information and
transactions cannot be viewed, intercepted or altered. Nutrigenomix will never reveal client information or genetic
data to a third party except as required to provide the services requested, or as required by law.
What will happen to the DNA sample once the client has received the results?
After testing is completed, Nutrigenomix will store the anonymized sample under secure conditions to enable future
testing as new markers are discovered. Nutrigenomix will never share your data with any third party and will never
conduct research using your DNA without your permission.
Refund Policy
All sales are final. All Nutrigenomix tests and services are non-refundable.
Will the level of care the client receives by his/her healthcare professional change if the decision is made not to do Nutrigenomix testing?
No, the client will receive the same level of care. However, the dietary advice the client receives will not be
tailored to his/her genetic profile.
Client Consent
I have read, or have had read to me, all of the above statements and understand the information regarding
Nutrigenomix testing. I have had the opportunity to ask any questions I have about the testing, procedure or risks
prior to providing my consent. By providing my saliva or buccal swab sample I am consenting to Nutrigenomix
testing and storage of my sample for future testing. By checking the consent box that agrees to these Terms & Conditions and Testing Consent, I consent to having my Nutrigenomix
report sent to me via email by my healthcare practitioner, which I understand is not a secure form of
communication. I understand that only my first name is indicated in the report and no other identifying information
is included.
