Precision nutrition

Development of ingredients and products for specific population groups

Growing consumer interest in foods designed according to their genetic characteristics and with health benefits, especially for their immune system

Diet is one of the most important environmental factors to which we are exposed, and several diseases have a nutritional or metabolic origin. Given the increase in certain cancers associated with diet, obesity and related conditions such as diabetes or cardiovascular diseases, the need to develop effective strategies to prevent and control them is clear. Recent scientific advances in nutrition, nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics demonstrate the importance of food in people’s health, quality of life and physical and emotional wellbeing. Therefore, the design of personalised diets can contribute to prevention-based wellbeing.

At AINIA, we add value

Precision nutrition

We define dietary strategies to address people’s metabolic imbalances in order to improve their quality of life.

The new knowledge generated about the microbiome, the functioning of the microbiota and the intestine, and each person’s genetic information, makes it easier to understand how diet influences the body and, as a result, to design personalised diets.

We provide our knowledge in nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics to study the interaction of diet with gene expression and with the development of certain pathologies. We rely on genomic Big Data and Artificial Intelligence to efficiently manage the huge volume of genomic data and thus decipher the information contained in genes. Proper interpretation provides us with a robust source of biological information of great interest for areas such as health, metabolism and nutrition.

We have laboratories and experience in the use of cellular models, a diagnostic tool that allows us to experimentally evaluate different physiological processes in different scenarios in order to verify the beneficial effect of compounds and products and design strategies and products to promote health.

Furthermore, our experience in studies of gut microbiota behaviour enables us to develop new products that improve its function of protecting the body against pathogens.

The use of molecular tools can be useful for characterising the different metabolic profiles of obesity in order to provide more precise nutritional recommendations.
