What VitaBase is, what it is not, and where its limits are.
Reference information, not medical advice
VitaBase compiles published data on dietary supplements — dosage ranges, absorption, documented interactions and evidence levels — and presents it in a comparable form. It is an educational reference.
Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prescription or a treatment plan. No page on this site establishes a doctor–patient relationship.
What the compatibility score does not know
The score is calculated only from documented synergist and antagonist records between two compounds. It does not account for:
- your medications, including over-the-counter ones
- existing conditions, especially kidney or liver impairment
- pregnancy and breastfeeding
- your actual dose, which changes interaction severity
- genetic variation in absorption and metabolism
- product quality, fillers and contamination
Absence of evidence is not safety
When a pair shows "no known interaction", it means neither compound lists the other in its records. Most supplement pairings have never been formally studied. A neutral score is not a green light.
Talk to a professional first
Consult a physician or pharmacist before starting, combining or stopping any supplement — particularly if you take prescription medication, are pregnant, are scheduled for surgery, or manage a chronic condition.
If you experience an adverse reaction, stop and seek medical attention. In an emergency, contact your local emergency number.
Sources and accuracy
Compound records cite their own sources, including NIH, Examine.com and indexed PubMed identifiers, with an evidence level from A to C shown alongside. Research changes; entries carry a last-updated date. We correct errors when we find them — write to us if you spot one.
Not medical advice
Everything on VitaBase is reference information compiled from published research. It cannot account for your conditions, medications, pregnancy or dosage, and it is not a substitute for a doctor or pharmacist.
