Background: Precision nutrition is based on the integration of individual´s phenotypical and biological characteristics including genetic variants, epigenetic marks, gut microbiota profiles and metabolites fingerprints as well as medical history, lifestyle practices, and environmental and cultural factors. Thus, nutriomics areas including Nutrigenomics, Nutrigenetics, Nutriepigenetics, Nutrimetabolomics, and Nutrimetagenomics have emerged to comprehensively understand the complex interactions between nutrients, diet, and the human body's molecular processes through precision nutrition.

In a study addressing the high risk of chronic diseases in people with diabetes and obesity linked to metabolic syndrome, the impact of a Golden Berry diet was investigated using a diabetic animal model. Obese rats with diabetic characteristics were fed a diet containing five percent Golden Berry for 16 days. This study focused on various parameters including organ weights, expression of metabolic genes, and urinary biomarkers.

However, these metabolites potentially underlie the health benefits observed in various in vitro, animal, and human models. A nutritional intervention with 18 healthy human volunteers was performed, and urine was collected at baseline and after acute and short-term fruit consumption for 19 days.
