The research panel

Three clinicians read what we publish before it goes live. They are paid a review fee, they do not hold equity in this company, and they do not endorse BrainLive. Their job is to stop us overstating things.

Last updated: July 2026

Dr. Nadia Alvarez, PharmDClinical pharmacist

Fifteen years in community and hospital pharmacy, with a particular interest in supplement and prescription interactions. She reviews every page that touches dosing, safety or interaction language, and she is the reason the ingredient page carries a warning about spacing fiber away from medication.

Kelsey Whitmer, MS, RDNRegistered dietitian nutritionist

Works in outpatient nutrition with a caseload weighted towards digestive complaints. She checks anything we write about fiber tolerance, and the half-scoop starting advice on this site came from her rather than from the label.

Dr. Omar Kettering, MDInternal medicine

A generalist who spends his week with adults over 50. He reads our editorial pages for the line between supporting normal age-related change and implying treatment of a diagnosed condition, and he has asked us to delete more sentences than anyone else on this list.

To be explicit about what this panel is and is not: it is editorial review, not clinical supervision, and no member of it is treating you. Nothing they check turns a dietary supplement into a medicine.

How a page reaches this site

  1. Draft

    Written in house from manufacturer documentation, government health databases and the review literature. Sources are collected as we write, not retrofitted afterwards.

  2. Source check

    Every external claim gets traced to a page we have actually read. Anything we cannot support gets cut rather than softened with a hedge.

  3. Panel review

    A reviewer reads for accuracy and for compliance language. Their name and the review date go at the top of the page.

  4. Correction

    If we get something wrong, we fix it and say what changed. Write to [email protected] with the page and the problem; corrections are handled within five business days.

Our sourcing standards are described in more detail on the science page.

Reviewed, sourced, and still just a supplement

We would rather you buy it understanding exactly what it is. If that is where you have landed, the kits are here.
