Nutriva Labs is a research-first nutrition company. This is the methodology we follow when we study a nutritional category — from the published literature to independent laboratory verification.

Gate 1 — Literature review

Every project starts in the published research. We review peer-reviewed studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses across nutrition and gastroenterology — using sources such as PubMed and major academic journals. We document what the literature reports and what the consensus values are for each mechanism. We do not rely on blog roundups, social anecdotes, or manufacturer press releases.

Gate 2 — Competitive benchmarking

We analyze the products already on the market — comparing how they document their ingredients, whether they publish standardized activity-unit values rather than generic milligrams, and how their disclosed amounts compare to the values reported in the literature. Transparent labeling is the baseline we hold ourselves to.

Gate 3 — Formulation science

We translate the analysis into documented, reproducible formulation work, expressed in standardized activity units wherever a recognized standard exists — for example LACU for lactase, FIP for lipase, GALU for alpha-galactosidase, HUT for protease, and CFU counts for probiotic cultures. The goal is simple: every value should be verifiable from the documentation.

Gate 4 — Independent verification

Work is manufactured to GMP standards in the United States. Each batch is tested by independent third-party laboratories for identity, potency, and contaminants such as heavy metals and microbials. Certificates of analysis are available on request — email info@nutriva-labs.com.

Our standard

If we can't document a value, we don't publish it. If the evidence doesn't support a decision, we don't make it. That is the entire methodology — evidence first, documentation always.
