GX Sciences

What GX Sciences does

GX Sciences is a CLIA-certified and COLA-accredited genetic and biomarker testing laboratory headquartered in Austin, TX, operating as a subsidiary of Fagron, a global pharmaceutical compounding company. Founded in 2015, the company runs an in-house laboratory that processes DNA from buccal cheek swabs using DNA OpenArray technology for SNP genotyping, achieving over 99% reproducibility. Its core offering is a provider-centric nutrigenomic (NGx) and pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing interpretation platform, anchored by the NutriGen panel (over 300 markers, considering 550+ foods) and supplemented by TeloTest (telomere-based biological age), TrichoTest (hair loss), AcneTest, Pharmacogenomics, ReGENErate, NAD Profile, Food Sensitivity Profile, and 16 specialty panels covering methylation, neurotransmitter, immune, developmental, women's health, men's health, and autophagy pathways.

The business operates on a B2B2C model in which licensed healthcare providers (MD, DO, DC, APRN, NP, PharmD, RD, ND, CCN, and others) order kits and access interpretive reports through a dedicated Provider Portal, with providers free to set patient-facing pricing above the wholesale cost. Direct-to-consumer offerings (myNutriGen at $199, TeloTest at $99) supplement the channel and connect consumers to licensed GX providers for result interpretation. GX Sciences also provides private-label/white-label reports and custom gene panel selection for commercial accounts, plus the Fagron Genomics Academy training platform on Kajabi. The company is cash-pay only - it does not accept insurance or Medicare/Medicaid, has no CPT codes, and is restricted from serving residents of NY, RI, and PA. Distribution is augmented by channel partnerships with GetHairMD (hair loss), Designs for Health (supplements), ExtendingME, NuMedica, and Neurobiologix, and is supported by integration into the broader Fagron distribution network spanning 50+ countries.

Revenue model

1. Genetic Testing Kits and Panels: GX Sciences generates primary revenue from selling genetic testing kits and panels to licensed healthcare providers. Providers order kits at wholesale/pricing through the Provider Portal, and may mark up pricing for end patients. Tests include NutriGen (comprehensive diet/wellness/weight management), TrichoTest (alopecia/hair loss), AcneTest (pharmacogenomics for acne), TeloTest (biological aging), Pharmacogenomics (PGx), and 16 GX specialty panels covering areas such as immune/auto-immune, neurological/psych, developmental, women's health, men's health, methylation, and more.
2. Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Tests: myNutriGen and TeloTest are offered directly to consumers at retail pricing (myNutriGen $199, TeloTest $99), with patients directed to licensed GX Providers for interpretation. Provides an additional consumer-facing revenue stream.
3. Private Labeling and Custom Report Services: Providers and commercial partners can private-label (white-label) genetic testing reports and customize gene panels by adding/removing specific SNPs. This generates incremental revenue from advanced practitioners and commercial accounts who want to offer branded genetic testing services.
4. Professional Training and Education: Fagron Genomics Academy (Kajabi-based) offers online training courses for providers covering nutrigenomic panels, including one complimentary test kit per enrolled provider. Training modules exist for NutriGen, Immune/Auto-immune, Neuro/Psych, Women's Health, Developmental, and other panels. Revenue from course enrollment fees.
