Integrative nutritional biomarkers, which combine exposure and effect data, enable precision nutrition by accounting for inter-individual genetic and epigenetic variations in response to diet.
Personalized nutrition is moving beyond one-size-fits-all diets. By using integrative biomarkers that reflect both what you eat and how your body responds (influenced by your genetics), you can receive dietary recommendations tailored to your unique biology for optimal health.

Integrative nutritional biomarkers could be used to quantify effective intakes and validate or complement intake questionnaires... provide information on inter-individual variations in response to the diet. Furthermore, they may help to formulate personalized dietary recommendations to achieve optimal health and wellness for particular phenotypes and genotypes, currently referred to as 'precision nutrition' [59].

- Biomarkers of nutrition provide an objective, proximal measure of dietary intake and metabolic status, overcoming the inherent biases and limitations of self-reported dietary assessment methods.Good
- Specific biomarkers exist for various food groups and nutrients, such as alkylresorcinols for whole grains, carotenoids for fruits/vegetables, and DHA/EPA for fish intake, allowing for objective validation of dietary intake.Good
