Have you ever felt like you eat "well" and exercise, but the results don't come? Or that a diet that works perfectly for your friend leaves you the same or worse? It's more common than you think, and the reason is usually your genetics.
A nutrition genetic test (also called a nutrigenetic test) lets you discover how your body actually processes food, nutrients and exercise. Instead of following general advice, you get personalized recommendations based on your DNA. In this guide we explain what it analyzes, who it's useful for and how to choose it in Mexico.

What does a nutrition genetic test analyze?
At Ajolote Azul we offer the NGx Test (Complete Nutrigenetics), which analyzes more than 20 key genes and gives you valuable information about:
- How you metabolize vitamins and minerals (vitamin D, B12, A, folate, calcium, iron…).
- Your genetic tendency toward weight management and body composition.
- Your likelihood of lactose or gluten intolerance.
- How you respond to caffeine and sodium.
- Your food preferences (more hunger than normal? sweet or fatty flavors?).
- Which type of exercise suits you best based on your genetics.
- Your risk of muscle fatigue or injury.
It all appears in a clear, easy-to-read report, with practical recommendations you can apply from day one.
How does it relate to nutrigenetics?
A nutrition genetic test is, precisely, an application of nutrigenetics: the science that studies how your genes influence the way you use food. While generic nutrition advice works "for the average person," nutrigenetics translates your variants into specific guidance for you.

Who can benefit from it?
The NGx Test is especially useful if:
- You've tried several diets without sustainable results.
- You want to improve your energy and overall wellbeing.
- You have frequent digestive issues or suspect intolerances.
- You want to optimize your physical or athletic performance.
- You're looking for a smarter, more personalized way to eat.
You don't need a health problem to benefit: the greatest advantage is in personalizing your daily routine.
What results can it offer?
The report translates your genetics into concrete actions:
| Area | What it tells you | Example action | | --------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | Vitamins and minerals | If you need to reinforce any | "Prioritize preformed sources of vitamin A" | | Weight management | Your tendency and how much protein suits you | Increase protein per meal | | Intolerances | Your real risk (lactose, gluten) | Adjust dairy without guessing | | Caffeine | If you're a slow metabolizer | Avoid afternoon coffee | | Exercise | Strength vs endurance | Structure your training |
