Why Personalization is Critical
Every one of us is different and when it comes to what your body needs, one size does not fit all. If you are in front of a vitamin aisle, you may be wondering:
- How much is too much?
- Can anything be potentially harmful to me?
- If I’m pregnant or taking drugs, should I do something different?
- Are there particular times of the day I should be taking certain supplements?
The answer is a resounding yes. You may not have known that taking too much of a nutritional supplement (even if they're totally natural) can be just as harmful as taking too little (see our Health Bulletin on Optimal Dosage). Although there has been much scientific evidence on optimal dosages, this has been largely ignored by the industry and common over the counter products often contain potentially harmful dosages for certain situations.
New science also confirms that the timing of a nutrient’s delivery is often as important to health outcomes as the dosages used. The same nutrient can be beneficial at one time of day while harmful at another. (see our Health Bulletin on ChronoNutrition™)
NutriScan® provides optimal dosing and the right nutrient at the right time and personalizes supplements to your needs based on:
- Lifestyle Diet and Allergies
- Age, Gender, Ethnicity, Geography
- Genetic predispositions and functional health
- Family medical history and current medical conditions
- Prescription Information (see Drug Interactions)

And for each recommendation, we show you the evidence base behind it, referring back to your responses and specifying the appropriate dosages that are safe and effective for you.
