Exploring Personalized Nutrition through Nutrigenomics
Ever wondered why you take your multivitamin religiously but still feel off—low energy, brain fog, or weak immunity? You're not alone. Many people assume more vitamins = better health. But what if the real problem isn't what you're taking, but how your body uses it?
Take Vitamin D or Folate (Vitamin B9) as examples. Some people have gene variants that reduce their body’s ability to absorb or activate these nutrients. You could be swallowing the best supplements money can buy, but if your genes don't process them efficiently, you're not getting the benefits.
This is where Nutrigenomics steps in. It’s the science of how your genes affect your nutritional needs. For example:
FUT2 gene
can impact Vitamin B12 absorption
MTHFR gene
affects how your body converts Folate
VDR gene
influences how your cells respond to Vitamin D
pro.Genome’s Nutrigenomics report helps uncover these patterns. Instead of guessing, you get data-driven clarity about which nutrients your body might need more—or less—of.
The test is simple, non-invasive (cheek swab), and reviewed by licensed healthcare professionals. It’s a one-time investment with lifelong value. Your DNA doesn’t change—but your understanding can.
