Currently, medical technology is advancing rapidly. In-depth health screening at the DNA level, or DNA Circle Premium, has become an important tool in preventive healthcare. It is highly effective in helping to understand health risks and plan appropriate self-care.
What is DNA Circle Premium?
DNA Circle Premium is a health screening test that analyzes health “trends” and explores the risk of future diseases for proper prevention and management. It reduces the risk and the chance that these risks will develop into various diseases. It also helps in health management, including food choices, weight control, and appropriate exercise for each individual. It promotes health behaviors that reduce the chance of diseases identified as risks and considers more intensive screening for high-risk diseases.
Why is DNA important?
DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic Acid, is the genetic material found in all living organisms, including humans. DNA stores and transmits genetic information that determines the characteristics of living beings. Studying Circle DNA helps better understand oneself and other living organisms, leading to medical advancements such as the DNA Circle Premium program, which is a method for diagnosing genetic diseases, personalized treatment, and disease prevention.
Benefits of DNA Circle Premium
DNA Circle Premium testing offers various benefits that enhance health care by providing results divided into the following categories:
1. Diet and Lifestyle
- Food sensitivity (Diet)
- Nutrient requirements (Nutrition)
- Types of exercise and risk of injury from exercise (Sports & Fitness)
- Well-being such as diet control, inflammation, metabolism (Well-Being)
- Stress management and sleep (Stress & Sleep)
- Skin characteristics and skin problems (Skin)
- Sensitivity to pollution (Pollution)
2. Disease trends and risks
- Common diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases (Common Health Risks) such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, obesity
- Dementia and other brain diseases (Dementia and Brain Health)
- Various types of cancer (Cancer Risks) such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, leukemia, prostate cancer, etc. (can help save lives of those with cancer-causing genes but no family history of cancer up to 50%)
- Other common diseases (Disease Risks) such as migraine, allergies, macular degeneration, depression, etc.
3. Risk of severe hereditary diseases (Family Planning)
4. Drug response (Drug Response) such as psychiatric drugs, painkillers, cardiovascular drugs, diabetes medications, etc.
5. Aptitudes and talents (Success Traits, Music And Dance)
6. Understanding your genetic background
- Ethnicity information (Ancestry)
- Physical traits (Physical Traits)
- Gender-related traits (Gender Traits)
- Behavioral and personality traits (Behavioral Traits, Personality Traits)
Once you know your test results, trends, and risks based on your DNA characteristics, you can use this information as a guideline to adjust your lifestyle and daily behaviors.
Who is DNA Circle Premium suitable for?
Due to the benefits of DNA Circle Premium testing, it is suitable for individuals with the following needs:
- Those who care about their health and want to prevent diseases For people who want preventive health care, DNA Circle Premium testing provides in-depth information about risks of various diseases, enabling effective health care planning.
- Those with a family history of genetic diseases Individuals with direct relatives who have genetic diseases such as certain cancers, heart disease, or neurological disorders. DNA Circle testing helps assess risks and plan appropriate prevention.
- Couples planning to have children DNA Circle Premium testing provides information about the risk of passing genetic diseases to offspring, helping couples plan their family carefully.
- Athletes and those wanting to improve physical performance Information from DNA Circle testing helps understand genetic traits related to exercise, allowing planning of training and diet suitable for each individual’s body.
- Those with chronic or difficult-to-treat health problems For individuals with health issues that are hard to treat or do not respond to standard treatments, DNA testing may help doctors understand the true cause and adjust treatment plans accordingly.
- Those who want to change eating habits and lifestyle Information from DNA testing helps understand the body’s response to different foods, enabling planning of diet and lifestyle adjustments suitable for one’s genetics.
- Those with a history of drug allergies or severe side effects DNA Circle Premium testing provides information about drug responses, helping doctors select appropriate medications and dosages, reducing the risk of severe side effects.
- Those interested in beauty and anti-aging Information from DNA testing helps understand genetic traits related to skin health, hair, and aging, allowing selection of the most suitable products and self-care methods.
How is DNA Circle Premium tested?
DNA Circle Premium testing involves collecting samples from the cheek mucosa using a swab device included in the test kit. The swab is rubbed back and forth on each cheek 10–15 times on both sides. It is recommended to avoid food and drinks for 30 minutes before sample collection. The waiting time for results is approximately 4–6 weeks.
Important information before deciding on DNA Premium testing
DNA testing detects genetic variations that affect body functions and health risks. Its purpose is to provide information only; it is not a diagnosis or a definite indication that you will develop the condition in the future.
Besides genetic factors, other factors affect disease development, including lifestyle, health behaviors, and environment, known as Epigenetics, which also influence risk and disease occurrence. For example, a person without genetic risk for lung cancer who smokes can increase their risk of lung cancer. Similarly, a person with genetic risk for lung cancer has a higher risk than the general population but does not necessarily develop lung cancer.
DNA Circle Premium is a DNA analysis program using advanced technology to provide in-depth genetic information covering health, nutrition, and exercise. With higher accuracy and coverage than general DNA tests, DNA Circle Premium is an effective tool for preventive health care planning and lifestyle adjustments tailored to each individual’s genetics.
