Alltech’s nutrigenomics research is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between what we eat and our health and wellness.
Nutrients can affect gene expression, switching particular genes on or off. Genes are responsible for most of the day-to-day activity in the cell, so gene expression has a huge impact on health and performance. Nutrigenomics is the study of the relationship between nutrients and gene expression.
The potential for discoveries in nutrigenomics is enormous. For the first time we are able to connect a nutrient to specific genes and begin to determine which metabolic pathways are enhanced or slowed by that nutrient.
