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, with human 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 person and not a medical professional. Before anything goes live, a human reviews it for accuracy against the cited sources and for plain-English clarity. That human is not a doctor or registered dietitian — which is exactly why every page is framed as education, not medical advice, and why we link the primary sources so the claims stand on the evidence, not on a title.

How often we update

Each article shows a published date and a “last updated” date. We review pages periodically and whenever the underlying public-health guidance changes, then bump the update date so you can see how current a page is.

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.
