How We Source Claims
Every clinical assertion on this site is backed by a real, published confidence score and evidence tier. Here's exactly how that works.
1 What This Page Covers
Every clinical condition and herb page on NutritionColours carries a real, machine-readable confidence score and evidence level, generated from the same dataset summarized here. This page is the human-readable view of that data — nothing below is invented for this page; it's computed directly from our published confidence-scores dataset.
2 Coverage & Confidence, By The Numbers
17 clinical entities (8 conditions, 9 herbs) currently carry a scored confidence rating, averaging 87/100. Evidence tiers represented: I, II (Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine scale, Tier I being systematic reviews/meta-analyses/RCTs). Entities without a listed score here are still cited on their own pages, but haven't yet been through this specific scoring pass.
3 Review Cadence
Scored entries are scheduled for re-verification every 92 days by Dr. Shilpa Thakur, Ph.D.. This is a real recurring commitment, not a one-time audit — the next-due date for every entry is tracked in the same dataset this page reads from.
4 The 3 Pillars of Evidence
Our approach balances: (1) Published Clinical Research, (2) Real-world Clinical Outcomes, and (3) Traditional Wisdom (Ayurvedic Foundations) validated by modern science.
5 Outcome Data
We track anonymized outcomes from our thousands of patients to refine our clinical protocols, ensuring they are optimized for Indian physiology and lifestyle.
