Genetic and Ethnic Supplements
GenSpec Labs, New York, NY, has formulated the first line of supplements to address the unique metabolic needs of African-Americans, Hispanics and Caucasians. According to the company, physiological and metabolic differences can act-ually cause various vitamin deficiencies, thus making each ethnic group much more vulnerable to different life-threatening diseases. While there have been numerous studies that show the correlation of vitamin D deficiency and debilitating medical conditions, the solution has often been unrealistic as far as meeting the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for vitamin D. For most minorities, the presence of melanin in skin cells and lactose intolerance prevent proper vitamin absorption and consumption. The company claims GenSpec is the only product that offers an effective method of obtaining a sufficient amount of these nutrients on a daily basis.
