The SLC23A1 gene is one of the two transporters which aids in the absorption of vitamin C into the body. Polymorphisms in the gene are associated with an approximate 50% decline in the rate of vitamin C accumulation in cells and potentially increase the excretion of...

Collagen has received an enormous amount of attention over the last few years for its health benefits. While many articles focus on the benefits to hair, skin, and nails from collagen, the far-reaching potential of collagen should not be overlooked. Collagen is made...

The TP53 gene is another excellent example of how our environment shapes our genome, and how our genes respond to give us the best chance of survival. The TP53 gene variant was analyzed in 4,029 people from 67 populations located throughout eastern Asia, from 11°...

A lot of discussions regarding the MTHFR gene are centered around the fearful consequences of variants in this gene. Yet, less is spoken about how common variants are in this gene, and why they were selected. Many speculations for these variants have gone mostly...

Welcome to the first blog post of our immunity series, where we give you actionable immune system research on individual genes in the Nutrition Genome Report. Each post in this series will show you where to find the gene in your report, the genotype of interest,...

Last week, we explored research on COVID-19 and a novel pathway to help push the scientific discussion towards strategies for reducing the severity of the virus on a global scale. This week, we are going to share guidelines for basic immunity so that you have a solid...
