How we build a nutrient reference.
A transparent process for clear, responsible food supplement information, written for readers in South Africa who want to understand a label before they read past it.
Five stages of review
- Define the ingredient question and the intended reader, so the page has a clear editorial scope from the first draft.
- Separate composition facts, such as milligram amounts, from function language drawn from approved nutrient claims.
- Check terminology, quantities and reference values against the label and publicly available nutrient data.
- Review tone for clarity and responsible boundaries, removing any wording that could be read as a personal promise.
- Record the revision date on the page and invite readers to submit corrections by email.

How often the library is reviewed
What we check on every page
Before any article is published, it passes through a short but consistent checklist. This is the same list our compliance reader works through regardless of which nutrient the page discusses.
- Does every quantified claim match a number printed on the actual product label?
- Is any nutrient function statement limited to the approved reference wording for that nutrient?
- Have we avoided implying a personal outcome, timeline or comparison to a health condition?
- Is the food-supplement disclaimer visible and unmodified on the page?
- Does the page carry a current revision date before it goes live?
A note on sourcing
Nutrient function language on this site is limited to wording recognised under Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, applied here as an editorial reference standard rather than a formal South African filing. Where an ingredient, such as lutein or zeaxanthin, has no such recognised claim, we describe it only as a component of the formula.
"Our reviewers are asked to read every draft as a sceptical stranger would: does this sentence describe the label, or does it quietly promise something the label cannot support?"
About our process
Do you test the products yourselves?
No. Our review focuses on label accuracy, terminology and clarity, not independent laboratory testing.
Who checks the nutrient claims?
A dedicated compliance reader checks every function statement against the approved reference wording before publication.
Can readers suggest corrections?
Yes. Corrections and sourcing questions can be sent to [email protected] and are reviewed during office hours.
