Customized vitamins are a new trend. Whether the focus is on healthy aging, tackling obesity or genetic predispositions, Americans no longer need to rely on Centrum and wonder if they’re getting what they really need.
Here are 4 companies that offer vitamins and nutritional supplements that have the individual in mind:
1) Suracell am and pm core supplements:
Given to you by an MD or medi-spa only, here's how Suracell works: You take a cheek swab and send your DNA kit to Suracell’s lab for testing to measure key healthy aging factors (i.e. blood sugar and body fat control), then a vitamin package is customized to suit your individual needs to age better.
Afraid to decode your own DNA? Simply opt for the core nutritional need supplements SANS the DNA test. People on this program tell me they have clearer skin, better concentration during hte day, higher energy levels, and have said “sayonara” to insomnia at night.
http://www.agebetternow.com/ offers a free month supply (just $13.95 for shipping & handling versus 69.95 for 30 day supply of am and pm essential genetic formula, comprised of over 70 vitamins, minerals, and enzymes combined with potent rainforest CAE extract for anti-aging). The DNA test is given out only by a Dr. or medi-spa: $190
Next up from Suracell? DNA-focused customized skin cream, to be announced.
2) Mitamins: Go to this company’s web site and it allows you to check off various conditions from bone and eye health to body odor (blech!) and customize a nutritional supplement program that’s ideally suited to your needs.
Mitamins’ team consists of physicians, nutritionists, biochemists and herbalists.
Cost depends on how much you kvetch - I mean, how may "conditions" you check off: i.e., monthly cost for a formulation based on Acne & Allergies & Anti-aging & Backache & Body Odor & Bone Health is $37.92 plus shipping and handling. No DNA test. http://www.mitamins.com/
3) Signature Supplements: No doctor visit or blood test, these supplements are designed for you on the basis of a questionnaire you fill out online. Unlike Mitamins which gives you boxes to check off, SS gives you multiple choice answers to choose from – This could signal a red flag to nutritionists, but the company says it tested over 20,000 individuals and has the method of personalized formulation downpat.

Their customers also rave about clearer skin, as well as PMS cures through this customized blend. What it will cost you: anywhere from $40 to $80 for a one-month supply, depending on the ingredients in your formula. http://www.signaturesupplements.com/
4) GenoTrim by Salugen: If the latest ban on fast food isn’t enough to keep your waistline in check, try getting a nutritional supplement made up for you to fight off predisposition to excess girth.
Like Suracell, Salugen offers a DNA test for GenoTrim, but unlike the former which measures healthy aging factors, Salugen’s DNA test for GenoTrim measures fat genes (Did you know there’s a “sweet tooth gene”?).
Cost for Monthly supply of vitamins: 99.95, The DNA test? A hefty 424.95. Now that will add serious weight to your wallet! http://www.genotrim.com/
