Editorial Standards
These standards describe how this app should handle nutrition, supplement, food, bioactive, safety, and future product-quality content.
Source-Linked Claims
Nutrient values, safety notes, evidence summaries, and product-quality notes should point back to traceable sources whenever practical.
Evidence Language
Evidence labels are conservative orientation labels. Established, Promising, Emerging, Traditional Use, and Basic Entry should describe confidence without overstating certainty.
Safety Before Sales
Safety cautions, medication interactions, pregnancy and lactation notes, upper limits, and clinician guidance should not be softened to make a supplement seem easier to buy.
Clear Dates
Sources include acquired dates so users can see when information was consulted and so dead or changed links can be audited later.
Research Discovery Links
Google Scholar links are live search shortcuts for further reading. They are not treated as fixed citations because search results change over time and may vary by user, location, and indexing.
Corrections And Updates
When better evidence or updated reference values are found, pages should be revised and source trails should be updated rather than silently preserving older wording.
