Editorial policy

We write for information gain, not rewrites

Every guide has to add something you can't get from a generic article: an original nutrient-to-food table, a symptom decoder, a “what to eat tonight” step. If a page would just reword what's already on the first page of search results, we don't publish it.

We cite primary, public-health sources — and link them

Our factual claims trace back to mainstream, public-health nutrition sources, chiefly the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements and the Harvard Nutrition Source. We link them inline so you can verify any statement yourself rather than take our word for it.

No fabricated stats, no invented doses

We do not make up numbers. If we can't point a statistic to a credible source, it doesn't go in. We also avoid prescriptive dosing on purpose — telling a stranger to take a specific milligram amount is a clinical decision, not a content one. We describe nutrients, the everyday foods that carry them, and the patterns that suggest a likely gap, and we leave dosing to you and your clinician.

AI-assisted drafting, human fact-check, dietitian review

Our guides are drafted with AI assistance in the voice of “Vita,” who is a transparent AI persona — a brand character, not a real personand not a medical professional. Before a page goes live, the team fact-checks it against the cited sources for accuracy and plain-English clarity. Registered dietitians then review our nutrition pages on a rolling basis — we publish first, and review typically lands within about three days, so we don't claim every page is pre-reviewed at the moment it appears. Pages that have completed review carry a dated “Medically reviewed” badge naming the reviewer; pages without the badge haven't been reviewed yet. The full process — who the reviewers are, what they check, and what the badge does and doesn't mean — is on how we review.

How often we update

Each article shows a published date and a “last updated” date. Every page re-enters a refresh rotation on a 60-day cycle, where we re-verify its numbers against the cited fact sheets — and we pull pages forward whenever the underlying public-health guidance changes. The mechanics are described on our sources page.

Medical disclaimer

Nutrition is a your-money-or-your-life topic, so we say this plainly: this site is for education only. It is not medical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for a qualified healthcare provider. Nutrient suggestions are presented as “likely,” never as certainties. Always talk to your provider — and, where relevant, get a blood test — before changing your diet or supplements.

Corrections — how to report, what we do

We'd genuinely like to know when something is wrong. If a fact looks off, a source is outdated, or a link is broken, email vitaminico.sup@gmail.com with the page URL and the claim in question (more on the contact page). Here's the commitment: we verify the report against the primary sources, fix confirmed factual errors within 7 daysof confirming them, bump the page's updated date, and — where a page carries a “Medically reviewed” badge — route the change back through reviewer re-check on the next review cycle.
