About Us: Unlocking Human Vitality Through Science
Welcome to Vitamins & Minerals, your definitive, science-backed resource for understanding the fundamental building blocks of human health.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple yet profound: to unlock the foundation of human health, vitality, and longevity. We believe that every individual deserves access to clear, clinically accurate, and deeply researched information about the micronutrients that power their biological hardware.
The Scientific Authors
Vitamins & Minerals is maintained by Vasyl Haborets and Natalia Haborets, two dedicated scientific researchers committed to the highest standards of evidence-based wellness. They combine their extensive academic backgrounds with an unwavering commitment to scientific integrity.
Vasyl Haborets
Vasyl is a specialized researcher whose work focuses on biochemical relationships, molecular nutrition, and evidence-based science. His clinical expertise forms the backbone of the intricate physiological pathways explored on this site.

Our Editorial Standards
To ensure the highest levels of Expertise, Experience, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T) — especially in the critical field of health (YMYL) — we strictly adhere to the following principles:
- Evidence-First: We don’t follow trends; we follow the data. Every article is meticulously cross-referenced with peer-reviewed clinical studies and the NIH Dietary Reference Intakes.
- Biochemical Precision: We focus on the “why” and “how” of nutrient absorption, genetic co-factors (like the BCO1 enzyme or MTHFR gene), and metabolic pathways.
- Radical Transparency: We are honest about the limitations of current research and always prioritize safety and bio-individuality. All content undergoes rigorous scientific review by our authors.
Why We Exist
In an era of “thin content” and sensationalist health headlines, we noticed a critical gap. Most resources either oversimplify complex biochemistry or lack the clinical depth required for true biological optimization. We built this platform to be the definitive “Organic Software Manual” for the human body, providing unparalleled value for both the general public and health professionals.
Data Sources and Fact-Checking
At Vitamins & Minerals, our commitment to undeniable accuracy is absolute. All claims, biological mechanisms, and statistical data are sourced directly from primary literature. We actively monitor and cite:
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH): Specifically the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) for baseline RDAs and Upper Limits.
- PubMed & The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI): For peer-reviewed clinical studies and meta-analyses.
- The Linus Pauling Institute (Oregon State University): For advanced interpretations of micronutrient biochemistry.
Every article undergoes a rigorous fact-checking process by Vasyl and Natalia Haborets before publication. If new clinical data contradicts our existing profiles, we promptly update the page with a clear “Last Updated” timestamp and an explanation of the new findings.
Transparency and Funding
Vitamins & Minerals is an independent research platform. We are self-funded and absolutely do not accept payments, sponsorships, or “free samples” in exchange for biased editorial content or altered supplement recommendations.
To keep this platform freely accessible to the public and medical community without paywalls or restrictive subscriptions, we utilize display advertising (such as Google AdSense). Any advertisements are completely decoupled from our editorial process. Advertisers have zero influence over our scientific conclusions. We do not participate in affiliate programs or recommend supplements for profit. For more details, please review our Editorial Policy .
