Goal of nutrigenomics is the design of foods suitable for individual human genotypes to benefit the health of those individuals and optimise physiological processes. Another concern of Nutrigenomics is the development of so called functional food, which includes the addition of drugs or vitamin concentrates into foodstuff as well as the optimal regulation of nutrient uptake. Presently, this new scientific field is funded by the European Union with about 18 million Euro.
