The dose makes the poison' is a key principle in toxicology. However, when it comes to health, something crucial is missing: your unique genetic response. At Lifecode Gx, we propose a more accurate paradigm: 'The dose and your genetics make the poison.' For example, the mineral phosphorus is essential for healthy bones and teeth, DNA, and cell membrane function, but in excess can increase the risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and, accelerated ageing! However, we are not all affected equally - a SNP on the Klotho gene carries higher risk of phosphorus 'toxicity', and hence more incentive to limit intake - from cola, energy drinks, processed meats and other UPFs. The principle applies to almost every essential mineral... join us to find out more.
