What is SupplementDEX
Introducing SupplementDEX, a supplement database that anyone can use.
SupplementDEX refers to a combination of Supplements + Health Conditions + Product Reviews, SupplementDEX is more of a mental framework and each layer can be a handbook on its own.
Philosophy
SupplementDEX was created to bring a more accurate representation of supplement efficacy, to be a handbook that is not opinionated, a "source of truth" that anyone from doctors to consumers can rely on with confidence.
Less Abstraction
While most supplement purchases flow as a function of anecdotes (eg. word of mouth or social media sources), this relies primarily on subjective experience and can obfuscate the true effectiveness of an intervention.
You can’t base supplement recommendations purely on subjective factors, you need logic. In other words, we try to limit the damage of incentive-caused bias as best we can.
Seamless Integration
SupplementDEX integrates tightly with medical practitioner workflows, bringing useful utilities and a good-looking UI.
For everyone, you can find every resource with instant search.
SupplementDEX should be simple and easy to use.
Minimal
