Editorial Policy & Scientific Standards
At Vitamins & Minerals, our primary objective is to deliver the most accurate, scientifically sound, and clinically relevant information on micronutrients. We recognize that our content falls within the “Your Money or Your Life” (YMYL) category, meaning the information we publish can directly impact your health, safety, and well-being.
To meet the highest standards of Expertise, Experience, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T), our content is strictly governed by the editorial process outlined below.
1. Scientific Authorship & Peer Review
Every article on this website is exclusively written, edited, and reviewed by qualified scientific researchers:
- Vasyl Haborets: Dedicated researcher focusing on biochemical relationships and molecular nutrition. ( Google Scholar Profile )
- Natalia Haborets: Precision nutrition specialist focusing on metabolic optimization and longevity factors. ( Google Scholar Profile )
Our authors rely solely on peer-reviewed biomedical literature, clinical trials, and official guidelines from recognized health organizations (e.g., the National Institutes of Health). We do not accept guest posts, sponsored content, or unverified opinions.
2. Evidence-Based Research Methodology
We adhere to a strict Evidence-First policy. This means:
- Primary Sources Only: We base our articles on primary scientific literature published in respected journals (e.g., The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Nutrients, Nature, The Lancet).
- Clinical Accuracy over Sensationalism: We avoid “clickbait” titles and exaggerated health claims. Instead, we focus on the biochemical “why” and “how” of each nutrient, strictly detailing its physiological pathways, synergistic co-factors, and established limitations.
- Dosage & Safety Standards: All Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs), Adequate Intakes (AIs), and Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (ULs) cited on our platform are aligned directly with the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) and other global consensus panels.
3. Continuous Updates & Content Integrity
Medical science is continuously evolving. Our authors perform regular, comprehensive reviews of our entire article database to ensure all biochemical profiles reflect the latest peer-reviewed findings.
- You will find a “Last Updated” timestamp on every article reflecting the date of its most recent scientific review.
- Any errors or outdated theories are promptly corrected with a transparent methodology update.
4. Conflict of Interest Transparency
Our foremost loyalty is to clinical truth and our readers’ health. Our content is entirely independent and is not influenced by advertisers.
- We do not participate in affiliate programs or endorse specific products or supplements for profit.
- Advertisers never have a say in our editorial process, topics, or scientific conclusions.
