StrideDNA is an at-home DNA test providing personalised and actionable lifestyle recommendations for long-term health and wellbeing. SNPs, or single-base pair differences in DNA sequences, are commonly found throughout the human genome. In gene array testing, SNP analysis identifies genetic variants associated with specific predispositions, nutrient needs, and genetic variations among individuals. Stride uses the Infinium HTS iSelect Custom microarray panel (called Rita), a custom DNA microarray assay made by Illumina, to identify these variants.
This information allows us to offer valuable insights into an individual’s nutrition, fitness, mental cognition, skin health and methylation predispositions, empowering them to make informed decisions about their health and wellness.
We uphold a rigorously scientific approach based on reliable data consolidated by dozens of studies. We maintain a strict inclusion protocol for each SNP included in our DNA report: the effect must have been identified with human subjects, replicable, and shown in at least three research studies.
Stride’s genetic testing takes place in our state-of-the-art, UK-based laboratory with an industry leading turnaround time of 10 business days. This direct approach eliminates the need to involve third-party laboratories, typical among other testing partners. With our model, we guarantee cost efficiency, high-quality and fast results, and ongoing innovation in research and development.
StrideBiome provides a high-resolution analysis of your gut microbiome - the complex community of bacteria living in your digestive tract. There are more bacterial cells in and on your body than human cells, with approximately 1.5kg of bacteria in your gut. These bacteria form interactive and dynamically changing communities that can have an effect not only on your digestion, but also other biological systems like metabolism, immunity, and brain function.
The human gut microbiome is increasingly being studied to better understand these interactions, yet to date we do not fully understand all the complexities. The human gut microbiome is constantly adapting in response to lifestyle and other factors, even owning a pet can impact it. The gut can contain up to 1000 bacterial species, with a broader diversity generally considered healthier. However, scientists are still working to define what a "healthy" gut microbiome is. There is no one single healthy profile, it is very individual. Therefore, it is important to monitor the microbiome over time to see how changes relate to your lived experience.
We use 16S rRNA gene sequencing to identify key bacterial species and genera associated with clinically relevant outcomes such as gut barrier function, inflammation regulation, and neurotransmitter and SCFA production. The inclusion of each microbial marker is based on established human research and its potential to inform actionable changes.
Your report translates microbial diversity, richness, and function into simple recommendations for diet, lifestyle, and supplement support. Whether you're addressing bloating, energy dips or immunity challenges, StrideBiome helps you make sense of your gut and take steps toward better balance.
StrideBloods is a comprehensive at-home blood test that measures over 70 key biomarkers to give you a detailed view of your internal health - from nutrient levels and inflammation to hormones, metabolic function, and biological ageing.
Samples are collected via a UK-wide professional phlebotomy network and results are returned in 7 working days and interpreted within your personalised digital report. Stride only utilises UKAS accredited and CQC regulated laboratories, the highest standard for laboratory excellence in the United Kingdom, to process and report blood results. Phlebotomy-led venous blood draws allow for greater numbers of biomarkers to be tested from a single sample, reduce the risk damaged or degraded samples and increase result accuracy.
The biomarkers included in StrideBloods and StrideOne products are chosen for their clinical relevance, with a focus on long-term health optimisation, not just illness detection, to provide a comprehensive view of our health. Each biomarker is selected based on high-quality human evidence and its role in modifiable systems such as energy metabolism, cardiovascular risk, hormonal health, methylation, and inflammation. Our panel includes both well-established indicators and emerging longevity markers to help you take proactive steps - whether you’re optimising day-to-day performance or looking to extend health span.
Measuring these biomarkers at regular intervals can help to track internal biological trends and metrics, aiding in earlier intervention and health optimisation.
StrideDaily is an all-in-one liquid liposome nutrition supplement leading to enhanced health and wellbeing. Research shows that encapsulating vitamins and minerals with liposomes improves the overall bioavailability of the micronutrient. Bioavailability refers to how much of the active ingredient our bodies absorb and use.
A liposome is a sphere of phospholipid, suspended in a liquid medium, usually water. Phospholipids have both hydrophilic (water-loving) and hydrophobic (water-hating) regions, hence form spheres in water, with the hydrophilic groups facing outwards, towards the water and the hydrophobic groups facing inwards, away from the water.
When nutrients are swallowed, they must survive exposure to digestive enzymes and acids, bile salts and various gut flora before they can be used in the body. Liposomes encase nutrients like a shield while in transit, protecting against these stresses in the stomach and intestine until they reach the intestine’s cell membrane. The interaction between the liposomes and cell membranes allows the nutrients to be released precisely for optimal absorption and effectiveness. Compared to traditional supplement tablets, which have as low as 10% bioavailability, with our liquid liposome technology, StrideDaily supplements deliver maximum bioavailability.
