How urine metabolomics advances precision nutrition by enabling personalized, effective, and proactive dietary recommendations.
Cinnamaldehyde – Metabolite of the month
In our metabolite of the month series, our scientists look at one specific metabolite each month. Topics of discussion include the biosynthesis and degradation in a broader health context, and the effect of dysregulation. In this month´s article, they took a closer look at Cinnamaldehyde.

Metabolomics – (not) a game changer in toxicology?
Why is metabolomics a game-changer in toxicology? We think so, but why are toxicologists split on this question?
Metabolite of the month – Alpha-aminoadipic acid
Aminoadipic acid is an alpha amino acid, meaning its amino group is attached to the carbon atom in the alpha position. It’s a nonproteinogenic amino acid found in all eukaryotes.
