Precision nutrition (PN) is an approach to developing comprehensive and dynamic [[Nutritional science|nutritional]] recommendations based on individual variables, including [[genetics]], [[microbiome]], [[Basic metabolic panel|metabolic profile]], health status, physical activity, dietary pattern, and food environment, as well as socioeconomic and psychosocial characteristics. PN can help answer the question “what should I eat to be healthy?”, recognizing that what is healthful for one individual may not be the same for another, and understanding that health and responses to diet change over time. The growth of the PN market has been driven by increasing consumer interest in individualized products and services coupled with advances in technology, analytics, and [[Omics|omic sciences]]. However, important concerns are evident regarding the adequacy of scientific substantiation supporting claims for current products and services.

"Practical considerations for laboratories: Implementing a holistic quality management system"

A quality management system (QMS) is an essential element for the effective operation of research, clinical, testing, or production/manufacturing laboratories. As technology continues to rapidly advance and new challenges arise, laboratories worldwide have responded with innovation and process changes to meet the continued demand. It is critical for laboratories to maintain a robust QMS that accommodates laboratory activities (e.g., basic and applied research; regulatory, clinical, or proficiency testing), records management, and a path for continuous improvement to ensure that results and data are reliable, accurate, timely, and reproducible. A robust, suitable QMS provides a framework to address gaps and risks throughout the laboratory's workflow that could potentially lead to a critical error, thus compromising the integrity and credibility of the institution. While there are many QMS frameworks (e.g., a model such as a consensus standard, guideline, or regulation) that may apply to laboratories, ensuring that the appropriate framework is adopted based on the type of work performed and that key implementation steps are taken is important for the long-term success of the QMS and for the advancement of science ...
