About us
What's behind the dots?
We find out what supplements, nutrients and health claims actually do, backed by research, without the marketing language.
Our mission
What’s Behind the Dots is an online platform that focuses on disseminating information about the functioning and effectiveness of nutrients to promote people’s health and wellbeing. Research shows that consumers do not get enough nutrients. Moreover, these shortages will continue to increase in the future with all its consequences. What’s behind the dots aims to inform and inspire the reader in the field of preventive health and orthomolecular medicine. The articles are based on the latest scientific insights and research.
What we stand for
Two principles, no exceptions
Sources over statements
Every claim in our articles traces back to a study, guideline or recognized health organization never to "they say".
Science, made readable
We translate complex research findings into clear, practical articles without losing the nuance.
