FAQ

Whether you’re looking to reverse a chronic illness, optimise your energy levels, balance your weight naturally or improve your performance in sports, a 3X4 Genetic Test provides you with the clues you’ve been missing, to empower you to take care of your health in a way that’s personalised and precise.

3X4 gives you a multitude of insights into how to approach your health. We test and look at metabolism, fitness, weight, hormones and diet all at once, to give you the answers you wanted, and the ones you didn’t even know you were looking for!

What’s the bottom line…? Sustainable change.

It’s complicated science made simple:
3×4 translates your genetic data into an easy-to-understand report, using clear, accessible language and colour-coded visual feedback.

It’s more scientifically accurate:
The 3X4 Test goes further to make more accurate recommendations for you by using Pathway-Based Analysis, which examines how genes interact with each other and work together to impact key metabolic processes, instead of only looking at individual gene variants in isolation.

Our science is based on the principles of Systems Biology, which uses a more holistic approach to biological research, focusing on the complex interactions within biological systems.

It’s a clinical tool that’s practitioner focused:
Created by practitioners for practitioners, our test is built by Dr Yael Joffe, an expert scientist in Translational Nutrigenomics with over two decades of clinical experience as a practitioner and educator.

It builds an expert community and advances the field of nutrigenomics:
Practitioners who offer the 3X4 Test belong to an expert community of nutrigenomic practitioners that participate in active mentor-ship programs, continued education, research and workshops, to enhance their understanding of genetics and apply it more effectively in their practices.

The 3X4 Test is available from 3X4 registered health care practitioners across the country. Please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will recommend a practitioner to you.

The 3X4 Test is only available through trained and accredited health care practitioners, to ensure you get the most value out of your genetic test.

Direct-to-consumer genetic testing provides only part of the picture. They can only offer you recommendations on your genetic results, whereas practitioners take the results further by taking your medical history, lifestyle, diet and environment into account to make personalised health intervention designed exclusively around you. They are also in the best position to help you make sustainable changes based on your genetic feedback.

At 3X4 we believe there is little value in giving you information that you can do nothing about. Every gene has been selected based on 2 factors, scientific validity and clinical usefulness.

The 82 genes in the 3X4 Test were selected from peer-reviewed scientific publications. To ascertain scientific validity, we ensure that there is adequate research to understand what the gene does and how the gene variant affects the function of the gene, and how this will affect how our body works.

Every gene in your report has been hand-picked because there is a clinical intervention that your healthcare practitioner can offer you to help you achieve optimal health.

Please contact us and we will let you know. If not, we can introduce you to an accredited 3×4 health care practitioner.

Collecting your DNA sample is simple and pain-free – it’s similar to swabbing the inside of your cheek with a cotton bud. The 3X4 DNA Swab Kit you receive will give you clear instructions on how to do your cheek swab.

You can do your swab in your practitioner’s office, or at home, and we will collect it when it’s completed.

3X4 uses the latest encryption and cloud technologies to ensure your personal genetic data is secured at all times. From the moment you register your DNA sample kit, your data is stored safely and is not being used for any other purposes other than to generate your genetic report.
