Alcohol<br />

Alcohol is a substance that can cause a variety of<br />

health related problems if consumption is too high.<br />

Due to genetic differences, some people are more<br />

sensitive to the negative effects of excessive<br />

alcohol consumption.<br />

Alpha lipoic acid<br />

ALA is a strong antioxidant that helps the body<br />

neutralize toxic free radicals, that would otherwise<br />

cause chain reactions of damage to cells and<br />

tissues.<br />

Arachidonic acid<br />

Arachidonic acid is part of the body's secondary<br />

messenger system and can trigger negative<br />

reactions in some people. Persons with a genetic<br />

predisposition to increased inflammatory reactions<br />

should avoid arachidonic acid.<br />

Fiber<br />

Fiber consists of indigestable plant material that<br />

does not enter the body but remains in the<br />

intestine where it aids in mechanical breakage of<br />

food components.<br />

Cholesterol<br />

The body produces cholesterol on its own but also<br />

absorbs it from our diet. A surplus of cholesterol<br />

can have a variety of negative effects on the body.<br />

Similar to folic acid, this vitamin can aid in<br />

stabilizing homocysteine levels, but only if a certain<br />

genetic variant is present. If this is not the case,<br />

Vitamin B2 has no effect on homocysteine levels.<br />

Fructose<br />

Fructose, also called fruit sugar is a small molecule,<br />

that can be absorbed into the bloodstream without<br />

having to be digested by enzymes. Some people are<br />

intolerant to this sugar and should reduce its<br />

consumption to avoid unpleasent symptoms.<br />

Total fat & total sugar<br />

These two energy sources are contained within<br />

most types of food and can lead to excessive weight<br />

if consumed in excessive amounts. Certain genetic<br />

types are particularily sensitive to the fat and sugar<br />

amounts in their diet and should reduce them if<br />

possible.<br />

Saturated Fats<br />

Saturated fats are one group of fats that are<br />

considered the "unhealthy fats" and can have a<br />

negative impact on heart health. Certain genetic<br />

types should particularily pay attention to the<br />

saturated fat content in their diet.<br />

Coenzyme Q10<br />

Coenzyme Q10 is an important antioxidant that the<br />

body can produces itself, but which also needs the<br />

action of a certain gene to be converted to the<br />

active form Ubiquinol. People who carry a genetic<br />

defect in this gene (NQO1) are unable to convert<br />

Coenzyme Q10 to the active form.<br />

Cysteine and Methionine (Amino Acids)<br />

Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins and<br />

are essential for life. Cysteine and methionine are<br />

such amino acids, that can however have a negative<br />

impact on bone health in some genetic types.<br />

Iron<br />

Iron is an important component of blood, that<br />

allows it to carry oxygen in the form of hemoglobin.<br />

Some genetic variants can cause the excessive<br />

absorption of iron, which can damage organs.<br />

Folic acid, Vitamin B6 & B12<br />

These vitamins help in regulating the homocysteine<br />

levels in blood, which are influenced by certain<br />

genetic variants. High homocysteine levels have a<br />

negative impact on heart health and should be kept<br />

low.<br />

Vitamin B2<br />
