Nutrigenomics
What if your dinner plate was prescribed by your DNA?
Nutrigenomics is the science of how your genes interact with what you eat. The same dosa, the same supplement, the same coffee — three people can metabolize them in three different ways. Nutrigenomics replaces guesswork with biology.
Gene–nutrient interactions, explained
Variants reduce folate activation. People with reduced MTHFR activity often benefit from methylfolate over folic acid.
The lactase persistence variant is uncommon across South Asia. Dairy tolerance varies — and so should dairy intake.
Fast metabolizers tolerate more caffeine; slow metabolizers face elevated cardiovascular risk with high intake.
Receptor variants influence how well your body uses vitamin D — relevant given India's widespread deficiency.
APOE4 carriers respond more strongly to dietary saturated fat with raised LDL cholesterol.
Variants influence appetite signaling — high-protein, fibre-rich patterns help compensate.

South Asian biology is different. Your nutrition plan should be too.
South Asian populations carry distinctive metabolic patterns — higher tendencies for insulin resistance, vitamin D deficiency, and elevated triglycerides at lower body weights. A generic Western-derived nutrition plan often misses the mark. Wittify reports interpret your genetics in this regional context.

Common questions
What is nutrigenomics?+
Nutrigenomics is the study of how individual genetic variation influences the body's response to nutrients. It bridges genetics and nutrition science to support personalized dietary recommendations.
Is nutrigenomics scientifically validated?+
Many gene–nutrient interactions are well-established (e.g., MTHFR and folate, LCT and lactose, CYP1A2 and caffeine). Wittify uses variants supported by published peer-reviewed evidence and clinical practice guidelines.
Will nutrigenomics tell me what diet to follow?+
It informs better food and supplement choices — not a rigid diet. Recommendations consider your genetics, lifestyle, and Indian dietary context together.
