Personalized Nutrition vs. Generic Vitamins – What’s Right for You?

Why DNA-Guided Supplementation May Offer Better Results

Walk into any pharmacy or online store and you’ll see shelves packed with multivitamins and health supplements. But if everyone’s body is different, why are we all taking the same pills?

This is the question personalized nutrition tries to answer—by turning to your DNA.

The Problem with Generic Supplements

Generic vitamins are made for the “average” person. They assume everyone absorbs and processes nutrients in the same way. But that’s rarely true.

Some people might:

• Have reduced enzyme activity due to genetic variants
• Struggle to convert inactive vitamins (e.g., folic acid → active folate)
• Need more or less of specific nutrients based on genetic metabolism

This means you might be taking a full set of daily vitamins—and still not getting what your body actually needs.

What Is Personalized Nutrition?

Personalized nutrition uses your genetic information to guide what nutrients your body is likely to need more—or less—of. For example:

• MTHFR gene affects folate processing
• VDR gene affects Vitamin D response
• FADS1 gene impacts Omega-3 conversion

A Nutrigenomics DNA test can reveal these insights, giving you a nutrition roadmap that’s tailored—not guessed.

Benefits of Personalized Nutrition

• Save money by targeting what your body actually needs
• Avoid unnecessary or redundant supplements
• Support energy, immunity, focus, and recovery more effectively

It’s not about taking more—it’s about taking smarter.

Is This the Future of Health?

As more Malaysians embrace preventive wellness, personalized health is no longer a luxury. It’s becoming the new standard.

And the best part? You only need to do the test once—your DNA doesn’t change.

Generic is easy. But personalized is powerful. Your DNA already knows what your body needs—pro.Genome simply helps you listen.
