About

What Typed is, and what it isn't.

Before launch: the placeholders on this page — who runs Typed, who reviews the content, and the contact address — need filling in with real details. Claims about review by named professionals should only go live once that review is genuinely in place.

The idea

Most supplement information sits at one of two extremes. Tracking apps record what you took and explain nothing. Reference sites are thorough and rigorous, and read like a textbook — most people close the tab partway through the second paragraph.

Typed is the layer in between: mechanism-first explanations of what actually happens in your body, shown visually, sourced like a reference site but readable in a couple of minutes. Every entry follows the same shape — the journey through your body, when to take or do it, how long before anything changes, and what's a myth.

Three pillars, one engine

Typed covers supplements, food, and movement. They aren't three separate apps: they share one absorption-and-adaptation model and one tag-based interaction engine, which is what lets the site say something useful about caffeine and your evening training session, or vitamin D and the fat in your dinner.

How the content is made

  • Sourced, not guessed. Entries start from NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheets and peer-reviewed research. Where an entry's sources haven't been verified yet, the page says so instead of implying more confidence than exists.
  • Two reading levels. Easy mode explains the mechanism in plain language. Complex mode uses real terminology and adds the caveats — every term it relies on is defined in the glossary.
  • Honest about uncertainty. Where evidence is thin or trials are mixed, the entry says that rather than picking the more exciting answer.

Review

Content is intended to be checked by a qualified reviewer — a registered dietitian or pharmacist — before publishing.

Placeholder: name the reviewer and their credentials here once that process is in place, and remove this note. Until then, the review claim on the homepage should be softened to match reality.

No products

Typed doesn't sell supplements and doesn't take affiliate commission on them. That's deliberate: the moment a site earns money per bottle sold, its incentives stop pointing at accuracy. Building the education layer first keeps "this probably won't do much for you" a sentence we can afford to write.

What this isn't

Typed is educational content, not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It can't account for your medical history, your medication, or your blood work, and it isn't a substitute for talking to a qualified healthcare provider. Full terms are on the terms & disclaimer page.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, we want to know — especially with a source attached. Every entry page has a correction link, or write to the contact address.
