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
