As a reminder, GIX stands for Gesundheitsindex (= health index). It indicates the health status and the health potential of an individual and how much of that is currently being exploited.
What is GIX based on?
The GIX refers to deficiencies that are measured and weighted. These deficiencies are weighted in accordance with genetic data.
There is namely a big difference whether an individual is low on calcium, for example, and additionally has a genetic predisposition to osteoporosis. In such a case, the calcium deficiency would obviously be weighted more heavily than if the genetic predisposition were not present. Consequently, a low calcium level does not always constitute a calcium deficiency. Here is another example: when a woman has an adverse estrogen level and at the same time a genetic predisposition to breast cancer, her estrogen level will then of course be weighted and evaluated differently.
Likewise, not all vitamin deficiencies are the same, because it all depends on your genes.
