EPIPSYCH: “UNLOCK YOUR MIND, DISCOVER YOUR POTENTIAL”

GROUNDBREAKING MENTAL WELLNESS INSIGHTS THROUGH SALIVA-BASED EPIGENETIC TESTING

Tailored Mental Health Understanding

Introducing epiPsych to the Canadian market, a pioneering saliva-based epigenetic test designed to uncover the genetic underpinnings of psychiatric conditions. This innovative approach offers a non-invasive pathway to gaining profound insights into the epigenetic factors influencing mental health.

Why epiPsych?

epiPsych analyzes the methylation patterns of key genes implicated in stress responses and psychiatric disorders, including NR3C1, FKBP5, BDNF, IL6, and OXTR. Understanding these patterns provides crucial information for personalized mental health strategies, enhancing well-being.

Gene Insights Offered by epiPsych:

• NR3C1: Essential for regulating the body’s response to stress. Alterations in its methylation status can impact how individuals cope with stress, making its analysis vital for understanding stress-related conditions.
• FKBP5: Affects stress hormone regulation. Methylation changes in FKBP5, especially due to early life stress, may increase susceptibility to stress-related psychiatric disorders.
• BDNF: Plays a critical role in brain development and plasticity. Abnormal BDNF methylation patterns can signal the onset of psychiatric conditions, offering a route to targeted interventions.
• IL6: Involved in immune response and inflammation, with its methylation levels linked to depression, a significant issue in older populations.
• OXTR: Methylation of the oxytocin receptor gene can influence emotional processing, crucial for addressing mental health disorders related to emotion regulation.

Convenient and Accessible:

With just two mL of saliva, anyone can access epiPsych’s insights. The test is easy to use, allowing individuals to participate from the comfort of their homes without the need for invasive procedures.

Availability:

Currently available for research and experimental use, epiPsych represents a significant advancement in personalized psychiatry. It is particularly relevant for individuals interested in exploring genetic factors contributing to mental health, with ongoing clinical studies validating the markers analyzed.
