Traceable Evidence

Understand the evidence behind the explanation.

A useful source tells you what was studied and what the findings can explain. It also has limits. Explore the sources used for our learning content, and see how we distinguish general nutrition information from product-specific evidence.

Evidence Distinction Boundary

A source should answer the question being asked.

A study of a nutrient, a specific ingredient, and a finished product can answer different questions. We aim to keep that distinction visible. General physiological evidence does not establish the clinical outcome of a specific commercial supplement.

Plain Language Definitions

Ingredient and nutrition glossary

Magnesium

A mineral involved in normal body functions.

Elemental magnesium

The magnesium itself, separate from the total weight of the compound containing it.

Glycine

An amino acid. It is part of the name magnesium bisglycinate.

Bisglycinate

A name referring to magnesium associated with two glycine units.

Chelate

A mineral bound to another molecule in a particular arrangement.

Bioavailability

How much of a substance becomes available for the body to use. A claim about it needs evidence for the form and context being discussed.

Serving

The stated quantity to which product information refers.

Evidence

Information used to support an explanation or claim. The kind of evidence and what it studied matter.

Deficiency

An inadequate level of a nutrient in the body. A website check-in cannot establish it.

Recommended intake

A reference for planning nutrition in a defined population. It is not automatically the right supplement dose for an individual.

Evidence FAQ

Common questions about evidence

Does a scientific paper prove that this PinkVita product works?

Research about magnesium can explain a nutrient's role. Evidence about a finished product is a separate question. We distinguish the two when presenting information.
