How we review our content
Nutrition is a your-money-or-your-life topic, so we put real registered dietitians — named, credentialed, with their own public practices — between our pages and your decisions. Here's exactly how that works.
Who reviews
Two independent registered dietitians review Vitaminico's content on an ongoing basis. They are not employees and don't write our marketing — their job is to catch anything that's inaccurate, overstated, or unsafe.

What gets reviewed
The pages where a wrong fact could cost you money or health: the nutrition guides in our Energy and Skin libraries, the methodology behind the free vitamin check, and the Supplement Safety Checker. Reviewers check claims against the cited sources — chiefly NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheets (see our sources) — and flag anything that reads as a diagnosis or a dose recommendation.
When it happens — honestly
We publish frequently, and we won't pretend every word waits for a dietitian before it goes live. Here is the true sequence: content is drafted with AI assistance (as “Vita” — see our honest AI disclosure), fact-checked by the team against the cited sources, and published. Our reviewers then work through the live pages on a rolling cycle — in practice a page is picked up within about three days of publishing or changing, and re-checked on the same rolling cadence after that.
What the “Medically reviewed” badge means
When you see “Medically reviewed by [name], [credential] — [date]” on a page, it means that named dietitian checked that specific page for factual accuracy against public-health sources on that specific date, and the byline links to their profile listing everything they've reviewed here. A page without the badge hasn't completed review yet (or isn't in review scope, like this page) — we'd rather show you no badge than an unearned one.
Just as important, what it does not mean: it is not a consultation, not a diagnosis, and not the reviewer endorsing a supplement or a dose for you personally. Educational review only — your own clinician outranks any page on this site.
When a reviewer flags something
The fix is applied, the page's updated date is bumped, and the review date on the badge tells you when it was last checked. Spotted something the reviewers missed? Tell us — corrections are handled under our editorial policy.
Vita is Vitaminico's AI nutrition coach — not a human doctor. Educational only, not medical advice or a diagnosis. Talk to your healthcare provider before changing your diet or supplements.
