GeneWize at the Super Bowl


GeneWize kicked off the official launch of the GeneWize Sports Nutrition program with an exhibit at last Sunday's Super Bowl.


75 past and present NFL players and their guests signed up for the GeneWize LifeMap Nutrition product. The NFL teams included: the Pittsburgh Steelers, Arizona Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, New York Jets, New England Patriots, Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Giants, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, St. Louis Rams, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Chicago Bears, Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans, Washington Redskins, and the Miami Dolphins.


Athlete Testimonials


According to Stephanie Miner, head of the GeneWize Sports Health Advisory Council, who attended the event:


"My husband played for the Boston Celtics, and like many other Athletes, he was approached to try different products all the time. It was gratifying to see the NFL Players actually getting excited about OUR product! They found the idea of Genetically Guided Nutrition based on their own DNA fascinating. Everyone is excited about receiving their Healthy Aging Assessment™ and getting on our amazing product."


Here is another testimonial from an athlete, former LA Raider and 1992 Olympic Bobsled team member, Gregory Harrell:

"I was very excited to receive my Healthy Aging DNA assessment along with the LifeMap Custom supplements, which I’ve been taking now for about five months. One of the first changes I noticed was that my knees don’t ache anymore after my daily run. My late night craving for sweets is gone; I feel more rested in the daytime and have more energy because I’m sleeping through the night. This is truly an awesome product."

And yet another sports testimonial by Tony Chung, Former World Martial Arts Council World Champion 1997:

"I have never performed at this level, on any nutritional program I’ve been on in the past, even with the assistance of a nutritionist. I totally believe in the LifeMap Nutrition™. It has changed my life as far as my health is concerned. After looking deeper into the company, I am certain it will change my financial future as well."

You don’t have to be an athlete to benefit from the GeneWize LifeMap Nutrition program. Now you can have a nutritional supplement specially customized for you and based on a confidential assessment of your DNA. For more information, visit: www.lifemapnutrition.com/helenezemel.

The Science behind GeneWize LifeMap Nutrition™






The Science


The DNA between any 2 people is 99.1% identical. It is this 0.9% variation in the genetic makeup of every individual that accounts for differences in eye color, height, hair color, skin type, susceptibility to disease, and even differences on how we age.


Small variations in DNA are called polymorphisms. The smallest of these variations are called single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs (pronounced snips). Many of these SNPs have no consequence to the body, but some effect enzymes that influence bone density, how we detoxify substances like alcohol and cigarette smoke, antioxidant levels in the body, the homocysteine levels in the blood (a factor in heart health), blood sugar and lipid regulation in the body, how we break down collagen (effecting our skin, bones, and joints), and even the inflammatory process in the body. Our genes are responsible for creating important enzymes in our bodies, and many enzymes are vitamin-dependent.



The LifeMap Healthy Aging Assessment™


GeneWize Life Sciences is a wholly owned direct marketing subsidiary of GeneLink™ Inc., a publicly traded company. GeneLink is a biosciences company that creates and markets low cost DNA-based assessments as the nucleus for personalized health, beauty, and wellness solutions. The GeneWize Healthy Aging Assessment™ evaluates a total of 12 key SNP that are factors for diminished health and wellness. As clinical research has proven, many of these genetic variations can be influenced by nutritional supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The Healthy Aging Assessment™ provides a simple color-coded system to show you which nutritional health areas you may have disadvantages in. Your GeneWize LifeMap Nutrition™ supplement is specifically customized to address those nutritional needs.


The Good News


The good news is that there is proven scientific research that demonstrates that vitamins and other supplements can repair DNA damage. The University of California at Berkeley conducted research; partially funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, on the theory that vitamin supplementation can repair defective genes. As reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (see Science Daily, June 3, 2008), the Berkeley scientists stated that: “there are many genetic differences that make people’s enzymes less efficient than normal, and that simple supplementation with vitamins can often restore some of these deficient enzymes to full working order.” Nicholas Marini, another Berkeley scientist stated: “I wouldn’t be surprised if everybody is going to require a different optimal dose of vitamins based on their genetic makeup, based upon the kind of variance they are harboring in vitamin-dependent enzymes.”


The damage to the body that free radicals can cause is well documented. Scientific research has documented that antioxidants can destroy these free radicals in the bloodstream. Antioxidants such as bilberry, green and white tea, blueberry extract, resveratrol, lycopene, pomegranate, alpha lipoic acid, and broccoli are important ingredients in the GeneWize supplement as well as Vitamins C, E, and selenium. The supplement also includes goji fruit, mangosteen, and acai extract. AC-11, folic acid, and various B vitamins have been scientifically proven to repair DNA damage and are part of the GeneWize product. Your customized product may well contain over 65 ingredients specially formulated to your DNA assessment. There are over 177,000 possible ingredient combinations in the GeneWize product.

Introducing GeneWize LifeMap Nutrition™ System


All of us have unique nutritional needs. Everyone at some point will feel the effects of aging, but some of us will come down with lifestyle related conditions such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease, and even Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases much sooner than others. In addition, we all have a different response to how our bodies respond to food, physical activity, and environmental stresses such as exposure to chemicals in our environment, pollution and sun damage. These differences that can lead some of us to experience premature damage to our skin and health can be attributed to the small variations in our genes that make us unique individuals.


It is known that oxygen free radicals have a damaging effect on the body. This effect is even more profound in those that have a genetic predisposition to the effects of oxidative stress. Scientific research has shown that consuming fruits and vegetables with a high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value may help slow the aging process. The ORAC value is a method of measuring the ability of foods and other substances to reduce oxygen free radicals. A recent study done at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston showed that rats fed a diet high in ORAC activity, such as spinach, strawberries, and blueberries, showed an increase in the level of antioxidants in their blood and were protected against damage to their capillaries and to their long-term memory and learning ability. See the article “Can Foods Forestall Aging?” at: http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/AR/archive/feb99/aging0299.htm.


I recently came across an innovative company that has been in the news. The name of the company is GeneWize, a subsidiary of Gene Link, a publicly traded company. The GeneWize LifeMap Nutrition™ System is the first scientifically supported nutritional supplement program that utilizes YOUR DNA to create a custom nutritional supplement formula that contains the nutrients your body really needs. The LifeMap nutrition is formulated just for you based on an analysis of your specific DNA. The custom tailored GeneWize nutritional supplements are high in the antioxidants and phytonutrients that your body needs. GeneWize LifeMap Nutrition™ also has a high ORAC value.


These customized products were formerly only available at expensive spas. Now everyone can benefit from 100% product personalization based on a personal DNA assessment. For more information on this innovative company, visit: http://www.yourbetterhealth.dnawellnesssolutions.com/ .
