Molecular Nutrition
Molecular nutrition is a branch of science that studies the effects of nutrients on the molecular level. This type of research helps inform dietary guidelines and nutrition policies, as well as aiding the development of new food products and supplements. By using molecular techniques such as microscopy, biochemistry and genetics, molecular nutrition provides insight into how specific nutrients interact with cells and tissues in the body and how metabolic pathways may be affected. This knowledge can then be used to identify which foods and supplements could be beneficial for specific health outcomes and to manage lifestyle-related diseases. Molecular nutrition is an important field of study as it bridges the gap between basic research on nutrition and its application to human health.
