DNA Nutrition Testing Apps

Summer will be here before you know it, and that means it’s beach time. For many of us, that also means it is diet time after a long winter. Sadly, losing weight is sometimes harder to achieve then we would like. If you have had trouble losing weight in the past, this year it may be time to check out how DNA apps can inform an ideal weight loss strategy.

What is a DNA App?

A DNA app is software applications for web or mobile that allow users to analyze their raw DNA to learn about their genetics. At Sequencing.com, we have the largest DNA app store filled with apps that can help you learn more about your body and health.

Our DNA app store includes nine categories of apps: health, ancestry, nutrition, fitness, beauty, lifestyle, children, bioinformatics, and clothing. In our nutrition category alone, we have over a dozen apps to help you learn more about your body’s response to food.

With so many options, you may be unsure where to start. If you fall into that category, here are some highlights from the nutrition category.
