Who We Are
A Research-Based Health Blog, Not a Brand
This is an independently operated health and nutrition blog. We write about supplements, nutrients, food combinations, and evidence-based health optimization — with a focus on how these factors interact with everyday life and individual biology.
This blog was started out of genuine frustration with the state of supplement content online. Most articles either oversimplify the research or skip it entirely in favour of selling something. We try to do better than that.
We are not a medical institution, a supplement company, or a research organization. We are an independent blog that takes the science seriously.
Who Writes This
About the Author
This blog is written and maintained by one person — Eric Lindström — someone with a genuine interest in how nutritional science actually works, and a low tolerance for content that confuses confidence with evidence.
Eric Lindström
Independent Nutrition Researcher · Stockholm, Sweden
Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Eric has spent several years reviewing clinical literature on micronutrients, supplement interactions, and evidence-based health optimization. He started this blog after finding that most supplement content online either oversimplifies the research or ignores it entirely. His focus areas include nutrient synergies, absorption mechanisms, and the gap between what studies actually show and what health media claims they show.
Important: Eric is not a licensed medical professional. Content on this blog reflects his personal interpretation of publicly available scientific research and should not be treated as medical advice. See our Medical Disclaimer for full details.
What We Write About
Nutrition That Actually Needs Explaining
Our content focuses on areas where the research is genuinely interesting but often poorly communicated — nutrient synergies, absorption mechanisms, timing protocols, food-supplement interactions, and the gap between what people assume and what the studies actually show.
🔬
Synergy & Combinations
How nutrients interact — which combinations amplify effects, which cancel them out, and the biochemistry behind both.
🌿
Food & Supplements
Practical pairing of whole foods with supplementation — how your diet affects what your body can actually absorb and use.
📋
Dosage & Protocols
What the research says about timing, dosage ranges, and how to build a rational supplementation routine.
⚠️
Side Effects & Risks
Honest coverage of what can go wrong — interactions, overdose thresholds, and who should be cautious.
Our Process
How Each Article Is Produced
We take a consistent approach to researching and writing each piece of content. Our process is built around primary sources and honest interpretation — not affiliate incentives or traffic optimization.
-
01
Literature Review
Every topic starts with a review of peer-reviewed literature via PubMed and related scientific databases. We look for human clinical trials when available, and are transparent when evidence is limited to animal or in vitro studies.
-
02
Draft & Analysis
Articles are written to explain the actual mechanisms — not just the bottom line. We try to give readers enough context to evaluate claims themselves, rather than asking them to just take our word for it.
-
03
Editorial Review
Before publication, each article is reviewed for accuracy, appropriate caveats, and clarity. Claims that aren't supported by the cited evidence are removed or reframed.
-
04
Ongoing Updates
Nutrition science moves. Articles are revisited and updated when significant new research changes the picture, or when we find errors in our original interpretation.
Evidence Standards
Where Our Information Comes From
We rely on primary scientific literature rather than secondary sources or popular health media. Our standard for citation is reproducible, peer-reviewed research — ideally human clinical trials, systematic reviews, or meta-analyses.
Primary Sources We Use
- →PubMed / MEDLINE — peer-reviewed biomedical literature
- →Cochrane Library — systematic reviews and meta-analyses
- →ClinicalTrials.gov — registered human clinical trials
- →NIH Office of Dietary Supplements — nutrient fact sheets
- →EFSA and NHS published nutritional guidelines
A note on citations: Every factual health claim in our articles links to its source. If a claim isn't cited, it should be treated as opinion or general context, not established science.

Affiliate Links & How We Stay Independent
Some articles on this blog contain affiliate links — primarily to iHerb. When you purchase through these links, we receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate income helps cover the costs of running this blog. It does not influence which topics we cover, which products we mention, or how we evaluate the evidence. We link to products that are relevant to the article topic — not because they pay the highest commission.

This Is Educational Content, Not Medical Advice
This blog publishes educational nutrition content based on scientific literature. Nothing on this blog should be interpreted as medical advice, diagnosis, or a recommendation to change your health regimen.
Nutrition affects everyone differently. Supplements can interact with medications, medical conditions, and each other. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making significant changes to your supplementation or diet — particularly if you have existing health conditions or take prescription medications.
