The Science Behind Roots by GA

Roots by Genetic Arts pharmacogenetic test is provided by our partner lab. It was built on years of research. Developed by a team of experts merging the fields of genetics, nutrition, pharmaceuticals, the hair loss treatment test is based on state-of-the-art DNA microarray technology that allows us to deliver custom treatments to your door.

Test has proven with 99.9% reproducibility

Roots by Genetic Arts DNA analysis is able to reproduce results with 99.9% accuracy. You’ll only need to take the genetic test once in your life.

Custom to address your hair growth needs

A simple cheek swab DNA test and our questionnaire can help you get a custom hair growth topical to meet your needs.

Our approach combines genetic information, medical and lifestyle data with relevant clinical data to help provide effective hair loss treatments. By analyzing specific polymorphisms associated with treatment recommendations, Genetic Arts’ DNA test provides insights into genes related to hair loss, and hair loss treatments.

The Test Analyzes Biomarkers Across:

Circulation / Blood flow

Hair follicles are living tissue and need a steady supply of nutrients from blood flow to remain healthy.

Inflammation

Improper management of inflammation is the root cause of many problems in our bodies and it can play a big role in hair loss.

Androgenic Effect

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the primary hormone responsible for hair loss. In individuals with androgenetic alopecia, hair follicles become progressively more sensitive to the effects of androgens, particularly dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is derived from testosterone. The interaction between androgens and susceptible hair follicles leads to a process called miniaturization.

Collagen Synthesis

Collagen provides structural support to the skin, including the scalp, where the hair follicles reside. It helps maintain the integrity and elasticity of the scalp, which is important for healthy hair growth. Collagen also contributes to the strength and flexibility of the hair itself.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor Metabolism

Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF) metabolism may play a role in hair loss, as IGF-1, in particular, has been implicated in the regulation of hair growth and follicle function. Hair growth occurs in cycles, consisting of growth (anagen), regression (catagen), and rest (telogen) phases. IGF-1 has been shown to be involved in the regulation of these hair growth cycles.

Prostaglandin Metabolism

Prostaglandins and hair follicle function: Prostaglandins, particularly certain types such as prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), have been found to play a role in regulating hair follicle function.

Your genetic results will not change during your life.
