These questions are EVERYTHING in nutrigenomics.
- we are not all the same when it comes to our genes: you may carry a genetic variation that predisposes you to lower enzyme levels or activity OR too much enzyme activity
- we do not all respond the same way to certain nutrients: nutrients are chemicals that bind to the active site of enzymes/proteins that have been made from your genes giving the instruction for them to be made. Depending on your genotype, you may need more or less of certain nutrients.
Knowing your genotype is key in personalising your diet, and supplementation choices so that you can be the BEST version of you.
