Abstract
Precision nutrition aims to deliver personalised dietary advice to individuals based on their personal genetics, metabolism and dietary/environmental exposures. Recent advances have demonstrated promise for the use of omic technologies for furthering the field of precision nutrition. Metabolomics in particular is highly attractive as measurement of metabolites can capture information on food intake, levels of bioactive compounds and the impact of diets on endogenous metabolism. These aspects contain useful information for precision nutrition. Furthermore using metabolomic profiles to identify subgroups or metabotypes is attractive for the delivery of personalised dietary advice. Combining metabolomic derived metabolites with other parameters in prediction models is also an exciting avenue for understanding and predicting response to dietary interventions. Examples include but not limited to role of one carbon metabolism and associated co-factors in blood pressure response. Overall, while evidence exists for potential in this field there are also many unanswered questions. Addressing these and clearly demonstrating that precision nutrition approaches enable adherence to healthier diets and improvements in health will be key in the near future.
