Our Specializations
Novogenia focuses on lifestyle-oriented genetic analyses and uses advanced technologies to detect up to 20 million genetic variations per sample. Our evaluation areas include:
-
Nutrigenetics:
Genetic analysis of markers that may be linked to how the body processes different types of calories or nutrient properties* -
Performance Genetics:
Genetic analysis of traits related to stress response, muscle development, and physical endurance* -
Skin Genetics:
Genetic analysis of features that provide insights into skin types—to support personalized skincare routines* -
Genetic Compatibility Analyses:
Genetic analysis of markers that, according to studies, are associated with specific metabolic processes* -
Pharmacogenetic Testing:
Genetic analysis of variants that, according to scientific literature, may be associated with differences in drug metabolism*
What makes our lab results stand out
Reliable sample quality
Novogenia’s recall rate is just 1 in 150—significantly lower than the industry average. This is made possible through a structured sampling process with three swabs, tube drying, and multiple analyses.
Clear reports for diverse audiences
Our reports are designed to be clear and understandable—for both professionals and interested end customers.
Ongoing development of reports
Since our founding, we have revised over 500 report formats—reflecting our commitment to regularly updating and refining scientifically based content.
From analysis to actionable recommendations
Our reports go beyond analyzing genetic markers—they also offer logically derived recommendations for everyday implementation, where possible.*
High-level quality management
Our Austrian laboratory operates according to defined standards and is regularly audited by external inspection bodies. An internal software structure supports documented quality control across all production and analysis processes.

Disclaimer
Science: Today, there are already about 4 million scientific publications that have studied the effects of certain gene defects on the human body. A typical finding from this sounds something like this: “If you have gene defect X, vitamin Y cannot be converted and remains ineffective.” Only when the effects of a gene defect have been independently demonstrated by at least three different studies is the gene test included in the program. Therefore, the influence of a gene defect is always backed by several scientific studies, and you can find the sources for this in the back part of each chapter. The genetic traits given by this analysis are thus considered to be based on scientific studies.
Recommendation: Recommendations based on your genetic profile. The recommendations derived from your genetic traits are often not determined by studies, but are often logical conclusions. An example: If a certain vitamin doesn’t work due to a gene variation, the conclusion is to switch to another vitamin with a similar effect. We achieve this for example by changing your diet or supplementation. So, it is important to understand that the recommendations developed by our experts are not based on randomized, placebo-controlled studies, but were created as logical conclusions based on your genetic traits.
