I heard a talk the other day about a nutrition company planning to offer targeted supplements based on consumer-grade testing with Ancestry, 23 & Me, etc. Does this seem like it could be beneficial at this stage?
At elite levels, I'm sure this is going further in ways both beneficial and nefarious ( marginal gains and all that) but does the state of the art today allow Joe or Jane Triathlete to better target training & nutrition based on a a consumer grade report?
Can we pick FastTwitch and SlowTwitch members by spitting in a little tube?
Target likely vitamin / mineral needs?
Training Styles & Methods?
I'm thinking of a company like Infinit Nutrition - could they take a peek at my report and come up with my best sport mix?
