In partnership with Signature Health Partners of Ventura, California and TARA Spa Therapy of Carmel, CA, Salugen is bringing a revolutionary personalized nutritional product and service to the spa market. SpaGen SpaGen.com is the only nutritional support program that nourishes your body with essential nutrients determined when DNA samples are analyzed along side a brief 15-minute survey of health, lifestyle, and medical information using 6,000 medical-based rules. Guests at spas offering SpaGen can purchase an in-spa treatment involving a DNA test and health assessment, and then use the insights of that assessment to guide their spa treatments and diet. Within two weeks, SpaGen is then able to follow-up with the spa guest and provide them with a comprehensive analysis, including information about their genes and a completely personalized nutritional support program available to purchase.

SpaGen is now available at the MGM Grand Spa in Las Vegas MGM Grand Spa Homepage, in addition to other leading destination spas. Rachel Knapp, Spa Director at the MGM Grand says, "The MGM Grand Spa is a place where our guests feel well cared-for. We are excited to now offer SpaGen to nourish the beauty and wellness of our spa guests from the inside out."

Chief Executive Officer Brian Meshkin states, "SpaGen is the ideal nutritional support companion for a lifestyle in which attentive self-care is of the utmost priority. For those who are eating right, exercising, and nourishing their skin, hair, and nails from the outside in, SpaGen is the only solution that provides your own personalized blend of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and antioxidants to nourish the well within you and bring your body into balance."

According to Signature Health Partners founder, Paul Sullivan, R.Ph, "The SpaGen survey is the most comprehensive online health assessment, analyzing the contribution of age, gender, allergies, diet, prescription medications, family medical history and many other factors into a personalization of nutritional supplementation. Compared to assessments and DNA tests used to just give information or qualify persons for 'regular or extra-strength' bottles of pills, SpaGen is completely personalized to the individual taking it and their nutritional protocol changes with them as their health changes."

Compared to other companies in the market providing DNA testing or DNA testing to qualify consumers for 'one-size-fits-all' bottles of pills, SpaGen is very different.

1. SpaGen is completely personalized – No two SpaGen programs are the same.
2. SpaGen offers the highest standards – The genetic analysis is performed in a high-complexity CLIA-certified laboratory certified by the College of American Pathology – the highest laboratory standards in the United States. And the nutritional supplements are manufactured in a facility where the standard operating procedures exceed the requirements of the FDA and the facility operates as "green" facility with eco-friendly materials and processes, including solar power to heat and cool the building and no harmful cleaning chemicals.
3. SpaGen not only considers the "nature" of DNA, but also the "nuture" influence of eating habits, physical activity, prescription medications, healthcare conditions, and many other factors to personalize the program.
4. SpaGen is supported by thousands of clinical studies defining 6,000 medical rules that guide the personalization of the program and supervised by healthcare professionals, including physicians and pharmacists.

SpaGen not only benefits the spa guests, but the SpaGen program offers leading spas a program to continue earning sales from their spa guests after they leave the spa. It is the credibility of the program and benefits to spas that attracted leading spa consultant, Tara Grodjesk, President of TARA Spa Therapy, to endorse the program and invite her industry colleagues to implement this program. Tara states, "I look for leading edge innovation to bring to the spa industry to help drive it forward into true wellness programming. Spas are more than skin and body treatments. Today they are evolving to promote wellness lifestyle. SpaGen is that kind of program which can propel a spa to the next level of personalized programming. Its a program that we at Tara Spa Therapy believe in and can wholeheartedly endorse. It underscores our values and philosophy of Living Wellness."
