Helping you to become the best version of yourself.
the future of health is personalised
Navigating the world of supplements can be confusing and often ineffective. Without knowing your specific nutrient deficiencies and your genetic profile, simple one-size-fits-all supplements may not provide the solution for optimal health and performance.

By leveraging your DNA, blood tests, wearable technology, and lifestyle data, we create personalised supplements tailored to your body's specific requirements. As your needs evolve, so do our supplements, ensuring you always receive the optimal support for your health. Our goal is to help every individual reach their peak potential and live their healthiest life.
DATA FUSION FOR BETTER INSIGHTS
We all recognize the importance of data, but too often, it's fragmented and used in isolation. Therefore we believe it's time for a revolution. That's why we've developed advanced algorithms to seamlessly integrate all your health data—from DNA and bloodwork to wearables and lifestyle questionnaires, with more integrations on the horizon.

By connecting these data points, we unlock a powerful synergy that transforms insights and actionable recommendations into something truly impactful.

MILLIONS OF DATA POINTS TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH

ENHANCED INTERPRETATION

Our algorythms stand out by considering the complex interactions among genetic variants, unlike others that rely on single variant insights. Genetic variants can amplify or neutralize each other's effects. We offer a comprehensive understanding of how your DNA influences you, providing a holistic overview instead of fragmented information.

THE POWER OF DNA

Harnessing complex algorithms to decode the mysteries of your DNA is crucial for gaining valuable insights. While you can't alter your genes, we can optimize their functionality. It's important to understand that your body needs to metabolize everything you consume into a usable form. Your DNA remains the same throughout your life, a single test is all it takes to unlock a lifetime of insights.

ONLY DNA IS NOT ENOUGH

Relying solely on genotype data for personalized supplements falls short due to inherent blind spots, just as basing personalization exclusively on blood tests overlooks crucial genetic information. Our revolutionary method integrates DNA, blood, wearable, and lifestyle data to have millions of datapoints. Through our proprietary algorythms for data-fusion, we personalize your supplement and provide you with personalised notifications.

EXAMPLES OF OUR APPROACH

VITAMIN D

When individuals experience a vitamin D deficiency, it's crucial to address this problem promptly. Beyond that, maintaining optimal vitamin D levels throughout the year is important. Understanding the complex processes of vitamin D production and metabolism, as well as the roles of other minerals like boron and magnesium, is essential for maintaining overall health. Beside this we take into account your geographical location, lifestyle, and dietary habits to optimize your vitamin D levels.

SLEEP

Using wearables to monitor your sleep patterns—including total sleep, REM, and deep sleep—combined with genetic insights into melatonin production and caffeine metabolism, we offer a comprehensive approach to enhancing sleep quality. To support restful nights, we can personalize your supplement with ingredients like magnesiumbisglycinate, L-theanine, melatonin, passion flower extract,... all aimed at optimizing your natural sleep mechanisms.

METHYLATION

Methylation is a simple biochemical process but that is involved in a large number of systems in our bodies. For example: support neurotransmitters generation and breakdown, detoxification, regulate genetic repair and expression, and generate energy molecules such as ATP. When some of the enzymes involved in the methylation cycle are impacted by common genetic variations, there might be insufficient methyl groups available for some of the processes that need methylation, all which can contribute to a negative impact on our health. We consider DNA, blood nutrient levels, and stress (HRV monitoring) to provide optimal support for methylation.

slide-image
STRESS

We analyze your DNA to understand how your body metabolizes stress-related neurotransmitters like adrenaline. A genetic variant affects 25% of the population, lowering their ability to break down those stress related neurotransmitters, which can impact mental health during prolonged stress and lead to burnout symptoms. By monitoring stress through HRV we provide personalised relaxation tips and tailor your supplement regimen with EGCG, magnesium bisglycinate, lemon balm extract, ashwagandha and many more... Our goal is to support you through challenging times.

IRON

For some people it’s not advisable to supplement with high doses of iron in case of deficiency. Certain individuals have a reduced capacity to bind free iron or may even be at risk of iron overload disease. Therefore, it's much more effective to supplement daily with lower doses of iron, especially considering diets with little to no meat consumption, such as vegan diets.

slide-image
INJURY

In case of an injury, which we potentially can detect through wearable data, we will ask for more details via our app. Using all available data around your injury and the link with your DNA and blood levels, we'll personalize your supplement with ingredients like curcumin, glycine, vitamin D and omega-3, to aid your healing process.

ADVANCED LIPOSOMAL TECHNOLOGY
Liposomes, made from lecithin extracts rich in phospholipids, form microscopic vesicles ideal for encapsulating hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules. They improve nutrient absorption by bypassing digestive barriers, leading to higher bloodstream concentrations than traditional forms. Liposomes protect nutrients from stomach acid and are absorbed in the small intestine via the bloodstream and lymphatic system, increasing bioavailability.
INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH TO SPORT SUPPLEMENTS
As with our health supplements, we do not believe in a standard approach to sports supplements. What works for one person may not work for the other. For example, you may be a low responder to creatine or D-Ribose, for example, making it much less interesting for you. Is it more interesting for you to take a dairy protein or a plant based protein? How is your fructose tolerance? Can you handle +100g of carbohydrates per hour? How fast is your replenishment of glycogen? How does caffeine affect fat burning? And much more. Our approach to supplements is to match each product with your DNA data and your sport-specific lifestyle information.

FAQ
What is nutrigenetics and how do we use this science in our application and personalised supplements?

Your DNA data gives us insights into your genetic makeup, helping us understand which nutrients your body may need more of and those it metabolizes efficiently. Your body must convert everything you ingest into a usable form and this is where something could potentially go wrong. This information is crucial in formulating your personalised supplement regimen.

How is the 4GOLD approach different?

Our supplements are personalised based on a comprehensive analysis of your DNA, blood results, lifestyle, and data from your wearable devices. This ensures that each nutrient blend is specifically designed to suit your unique health needs.

Why is asking for evidence based supplements or evidence based DNA insights not enough?

Evidence based implies that there has been an interventional study (with placebo/control group) to scientifically test the effect of a certain supplement. That seems like a good, even necessary thing right? The culprit here is that every randomized control trial is done on a certain group or population and results are averaged and these results are then compared to the control group, where scientists look for a statistically significant effect. Almost always there is a variation of results among the tested people, hence the averaging. This implies that some people are low responders and others are high responders. Why this difference, why is not every tested person reacting the same? Because all people are different, have different genetics (variants), different lifestyle, etc.., and all this affects how your body reacts or responds to certain supplements. So a supplement with a strong evidence base, might work for you or it might not work for you at all. It is exactly the effect of genes and lifestyle that we try to incorporate in our approach. So asking for evidence based supplements is not the most useful question, because you might be like the low responders in the test groups. Our scientists did years of research and development to incorporate the effect of your genes (DNA) and lifestyle in our supplement and supplementation advice.

Does my DNA change over time?

No, your DNA is fixed so you only need to take it once in your entire life. That is why the information in your raw DNA database is still usable after many years. Keep it at hand if updates are available, because every day new scientific research emerges that provides new insights into genetics.

What is the difference between the 4Gold DNA analysis and those of others?

After countless years of research, our research team has developed software that solves the main problem of most commercial DNA reports. They do not take into account the interaction between genetic variants and the interaction between genes and lifestyle. This may seem like a minor problem, but genetic variants can either reinforce or counteract with each other. We have developed complicated algorithms to take the interaction between genetic variants into account. Beside that we link your DNA data with other dynamic data like blood, wearables and lifestyle to give you even better health insights.

Can the 4HEALTH personalised supplements adapt to changes in my lifestyle or health?

Absolutely. We continuously adapt your supplement regimen based on changes in your lifestyle, health data from wearable devices, and any new blood test results, ensuring your supplements always meet your current health needs.

Is my health and genetic data kept private?

Your privacy is our top priority. We've partnered with a top-tier European university lab to perform DNA extraction under the strictest GDPR laws. But that's just the beginning - we utilize cutting-edge encryption techniques to ensure maximum security. You have control over your data and can share it easily, securely and GDPR-proof with trusted healthcare providers.
