Combining your DNA and Gut
microbiome testing to create the
very first Dual DNA Testing Kit

We generate holistic insights from your DNA, and your gut
microbiome, that allow you to thoughtfully optimize your
diet and lifestyle

What you inherit:

Your DNA is the genetic code
that reveals your innate strengths,
weaknesses and potential risks.

What inhabits you:

Your gut microbiome is like your second
brain that guides bodily functions including
your mental health. It is the strongest
indicator of your overall health & wellness.

Going beyond your DNA

Your gut microbiome is composed of trillions
of bacteria - its a dynamic ecosystem in your
body created based on what you eat.

This ecosystem inside you impacts your mind
and body in several ways. Nurture it through
the power of science and precision health.

Our ongoing
research study

Our study includes working with healthcare experts at JSS hospital, Mysuru, to provide patients with microbiome-based dietary recommendations for enhanced health management.

The participants include pediatric and adult patients diagnosed with autism, stroke, epilepsy, dementia, alzheimers and parkinsons disease.

45 patients followed Navipoint's dietary recommendations for 2 months

Gut microbiome diversity improved in 62% of the patients

Research areas we focus on:

The effect of a vast spectrum of foods and substrates on your gut microbiome composition

The effect of genetic variants on micronutrient and macronutrient levels, as well as food intolerances, allergies and metabolic response.

The interactions between host genome variations and gut bacteria

The science behind
your reports

Step 1

Your saliva sample is used to extract your DNA. Your DNA is your personal genome which is your source code. It holds all the information that your body needs to survive.

Step 2

A microarray or a chip ‘reads’ your DNA sample to generate the unique combinations of letters in your DNA sequence. This helps us study single-letter changes in your DNA code called Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms or SNPs. This is called SNP genotyping. We use SNP chips from Illumina, which is the gold standard in genotyping technology.

Step 3

Your stool sample is used to extract bacterial DNA i.e., the genetic material of the bacteria in your gut. Your Gut Microbiome is like your second genome, forming a dynamic ecosystem that is central to your health.

Step 4

Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology from Illumina, we study bacterial DNA sequences to identify the different species of bacteria, their richness and abundance in your gut.

Step 5

Your data is processed by our in-house algorithms which profile biomarkers in your DNA and gut microbiome.

Step 6

We map the dual insights of your DNA + Gut Microbiome to our nutrition databases, which have over 500 foods and compounds, to identify your unique dietary requirements.

Step 7

Dietary recommendations best suited to your profile are used for formulating your final recommendations report.

We follow high standards of quality and precision

All of our sample processing happens in an accredited laboratory.
We follow data privacy protocols & guidelines set in place by the HIPAA Privacy Rule and we practice deidentification to ensure confidentiality of our users.
Our nutrition recommendations are drafted by certified experts who follow guidelines from:
- The USDA (US Department of Agriculture)
- US Department of Health & Human Services - Dietary Guidelines for Americans
- The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN)
- Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The stool and host DNA test reports can really help support the work and diet recommendations of the practitioners who are trying to influence patients to change their diets

What our in-house experts have to say:

Sindhu H S, Nutrition Manager & Health Coach

It is easy to suggest chemically rich, artificially enhanced foods or supplements, but these just kill your appetite. Nutrition is about suggesting natural foods that are personalized to your genes and gut microbiome, after meticulous research on the same.

Aditi Dev, Nutrigenomic Product Manager

The pandemic made each of us realize the importance of working on personalized nutrition. Given the promising research in the field of nutrigenomics and gut microbiome, one’s health can be better understood and modified with the right kind of personalized diet.

Imran Shah (PhD), Senior Research Manager

Believing in the proverbial thought of “prevention is better than cure”, we are putting our efforts into precision health that looks into your genome, environment and lifestyle to come up with prevention strategies tailored to your uniqueness.

Ayesha Sulthana (PhD), Senior Research Manager

Our knowledge base is constantly evolving as we continue to find connections between these microscopic beings (your gut bacteria) and the food we eat - and how they interact with each other. How they thrive matters because only then, we can.

Smriti Mishra (PhD), Senior Scientific Manager

Our research efforts led us to a multi-omics platform which generates a high-res picture of your health. We integrate data from genetics, gut biology, environmental interactions and we’re gearing up to provide AI/ML-based insights for precision health.

Rasika Raman, Principal Product Manager

Your diet or lifestyle choices shouldn’t be informed by a Google search or hearsay. Today, we have the tools to study your gut bacteria, DNA and your environment through a single lens - and customise an action plan for a fitter you.
