SUMMARY Genes Influence the Micronutrient requirement Genes influence the effect of MN’s Genes influence the necessary dosage By analysing 50+ genes, we can individually dose 20 + micronutrients For 50 genes, there are 717 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 possible genetic profiles Each nutrient mixture is unique MICRONUTRIENTS How can you follow such a detailed requirement? MICRONUTRIENTS How Can You Follow Such an Extensive Recommendation? Standard products? The dosages are always too high or too low Personalized mixed capsules? Very expensive Microtransporter technology Easy to produce Optimal absorption MICRONUTRIENTS How Can You Follow Such an Extensive Recommendation?
