Reports

Your genes are unique and your approach to nutrition, exercise and movement should be too. Our DNA Health profile reports on 5 core health areas:

• Physical – Uncover your genetic muscle power, anaerobic threshold and many more reports based on your physiology.
• Diet – Get to know, among other things, how your body responds to carbohydrates and what your metabolic rate really is.
• Vitamins – It could be critical to know if you have a deficiency to certain vitamins and minerals; now you can find out!
• Health – Are you at risk of obesity or Type 2 diabetes? Put into place interventions against genetic health risks.
• Psychology – Discover if you’re a Warrior or a Worrier with expert recommendations concerning how you could deal with certain situations.

Health Insights

Delving further into your genetics, we deliver deep insights to help you with:

• Stress - Valuable insight into the relation of our genes and our ability to manage stress.
• Anti-Ageing – Ageing is the biggest risk factor associated with disease.
• Sleep management – Sleep allows the repair of bone, skin and muscles and is responsible for the correct functioning of the immune system.
• Injury Prevention – Help minimise the risk of injury.
• Mental Health – Reports on genetic variants that play a part in mind health.
• Gut Health – A healthy gut is the base of wellness.
• Muscle Health – Healthy muscles are needed to function in everyday life.
• Eye Health – How well do you process the nutrients needed for good eye health?
• Skin Health - Your skin could be genetically predisposed to certain health risks.

Biological Age

Epigenetics controls how your genes behave. You are born with your genetic makeup, but you can affect your epigenetics through your lifestyle.

We actually have two ages: Chronological age and biological age.

Your chronological age is the exact number of years that you have been alive. Whereas your biological age is the true reflection of how your cells are ageing.

Apple Health Integration

There is also an option to read Apple Health data and display it in the app so you can track activity and core health aspects relating to your genetic profile.

Epigenetics Reports

Our epigenetics test looks at your:

• Biological Age
• Eye Age
• Memory Age
• Hearing Age
• Inflammation

Benefit from knowing if you should make any changes in your nutrition, exercise or lifestyle or continue to monitor your overall health. The app provides the insights together with real world expert recommendations that you can take away with you.

As you can affect your epigenetics it means that you are now able to track your genetic health. Multiple testing allows you to monitor how positive changes are affecting your inner health. Motivate yourself even further with a test 1, 2 or 4 times a year.

Terms and Conditions

• Vala have partnered with Muhdo who provide our DNA tests and lab processing.
• DNA results will take 3 weeks to process once the lab has received the sample. Epigenetics results will take an additional 4 to 6 weeks to process dependent on the quality of the submitted sample. All updates, including progress of sample processing will be communicated back through the lab, to your Vala app.
• The lab collects, analyses and stores the data that make up the part of your DNA code of your genes and your epigenetic markers influencing your genetical expression (Genomic Sequencing). This data is obtained from the saliva sample that you provide. The data that results from your Genomic Sequencing, and any interpretation of that data, are your Genetic Information.
• By submitting your sample you allow Muhdo to perform Genomic Sequencing on any saliva sample you submit. If any of your saliva sample(s) or extracted DNA is left over after sequencing is completed, they will store it for 12 months for future tests and reports. They may also store it for quality control and optimization in our lab, including occasionally updating your Genetic Information to reflect quality improvements and advances in our Genomic Sequencing.
• By taking the test you allow the lab to perform analyses on your Genomic Sequencing data to generate Genetic information. You allow the lab to collect, process and store the resulting Genetic Information in accordance with these Terms of Service, and our Privacy Policy and Data Retention Policy.

here is also an option to read Apple Health data and display it in the app so you can track activity and core health aspects relating to your genetic profile.

 

Data and Privacy

• All the genetic data collected is triple locked by the lab. Firstly everyone is anonymous to us in the database. Each person is given a unique ID number, it is only with this code that the you can unlock the data and have it displayed on the private mobile app.
• Secondly all the data is encrypted throughout the data journey. So if anyone were to capture our data it would be both anonymous and encrypted.
• Thirdly we store genetic data on secure AWS servers. As a healthcare company we’re also compliant with the highly stringent European General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). I.E. we don’t duplicate or share it anywhere.
