Genetics and vitamins for athletic performance: what to know and how to act.🤓

Why it matters.

Performance depends on both training and micronutrient availability . Genetics can modulate the levels, transport, or utilization of certain vitamins, and therefore, the response to training and supplementation . Personalized training based on genetics isn’t magic, but it does help prioritize what to measure and who to supplement.

A crucial switch in programmed cell death 🧐


A team of researchers from the Technische Universität München (TUM) together with Helmholtz Munich have identified a molecular mechanism capable of acting as a “switch” for apoptosis (programmed cell death), which could have applications in both oncology and neurodegenerative diseases.

The scientific work referenced in the article was published in Nature Communications under the title “Structural basis of apoptosis induction by the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel” .

Autoimmune diseases and the genetic factor
🧐
Autoimmune diseases (AD) are a heterogeneous group of disorders in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. Their prevalence is significant—it is estimated that they affect between 7 and 10% of the world’s population. ( Frontiers )
The onset of an autoimmune disease is explained by the convergence of several factors: genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and failures in the immune response control mechanisms. ( Frontiers )
Genetics plays a crucial role: it is not the only factor, but understanding it allows us to understand the mechanisms, estimate risks, improve diagnoses, and guide personalized therapies.

Complete DNA Sequencing (WGS 30×): The Revolution That Surpasses Traditional Genetic Testing.🧐

For years, genetic testing based on SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) was the most widely used tool for identifying genetic predispositions related to health, nutrition, or physical performance. However, technology has advanced dramatically.
Today, complete DNA sequencing , also known as Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) 30x , represents a qualitative leap that redefines access to personal genetic information.

Possible risks or harms of taking probiotics and prebiotics

The gut microbiota (or gastrointestinal microbiome) is a complex ecosystem, with significant individual variability. The effects of supplementing with foreign strains or selectively stimulating it can depend strongly on each individual’s initial state. ( Frontiers )
Probiotics are live microorganisms (bacteria, sometimes yeast) that are intended to provide health benefits (e.g., to support intestinal balance). ( NCCIH )
Prebiotics are substrates (usually non-digestible fibers or fermentable carbohydrates) that “feed” beneficial bacteria in the gut . ( PMC )
Taking probiotics or prebiotics blindly , without knowing the status of your microbiota (or without diagnosing an imbalance), can carry risks or adverse effects in certain individuals. Below are the main arguments, supported by scientific literature.
