Nutrigenomics: The Future of Personalized Nutrition

Roots Analysis

Nutrigenomics is the science studying the relationship between human genome, nutrition and health. In part, the success of the Human Genome Project has also paved a path for the novel concept of nutrigenomics. Nutritional DNA testing helps in identifying foods that might lead to allergies or intolerance in an individual.
