Abstract

Background: Precision nutrition and nutrigenomics have emerged as promising strategies to personalize dietary interventions according to individual genetic, metabolic, and molecular characteristics. However, the potential of nutrigenomic-guided nutraceutical interventions to modulate biological aging pathways remains poorly characterized.

Objective: This study aimed to map and synthesize the available evidence from human studies evaluating personalized nutraceutical interventions based on nutrigenomic approaches and their effects on biomarkers associated with biological aging.

Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for studies published between 2021 and 2026. Eligible studies included adults aged ≥18 years receiving personalized nutraceutical interventions informed by genetic, genomic, metabolomic, or other molecular data. Outcomes included biomarkers of cellular aging, inflammation, oxidative stress, immunometabolism, and related pathways.

Results: Twenty-one studies were included. Interventions involved omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, Nigella sativa, vitamin D, methyl-donor micronutrients, fermented papaya preparation, and other nutraceutical preparations and functional food-based interventions. Four major themes emerged: multi-omic stratification approaches, biological aging biomarkers, redox-inflammatory modulation, and…
