Sources Policy

What We Prioritize

For commercial and product facts, we rely on the official product listing and manufacturer information. For regulatory claims, such as manufacturing standards or facility certifications, we rely on the certifications and registrations disclosed by the manufacturer. For claims about how the body, oral bacteria, or specific ingredients work, we prioritize peer-reviewed journal articles, systematic reviews, and government or institutional health sources including the CDC, NIH, NIDCR, and the American Dental Association.

What We Avoid

• Treating a single small study, especially on an isolated ingredient, as proof of an effect for the finished product as a whole.
• Citing a source secondhand without checking what the original research actually said.
• Using a search result snippet as a final source without reading the underlying page or study.
• Presenting customer testimonials as clinical evidence. Testimonials reflect individual experience only.

How We Handle Conflicting Research

Nutritional and oral health research doesn't always agree, sample sizes vary, study designs differ, and findings sometimes conflict between papers. When this happens in our blog content, we try to reflect that directly rather than cherry-picking the single study that best supports a marketing point. Where a review paper notes limitations, heterogeneity in study design, or a need for further research, we include that caveat rather than omitting it.

Where Citations Are Placed

Citations in our blog articles are placed directly next to the specific claim they support, with a link to the original source, rather than dropped in a general bibliography at the bottom disconnected from the text. Each article also includes a dedicated sources section at the end for easy reference.

Ingredient Studies vs. Finished Product Claims

Where we discuss a specific ingredient, for example, research on calcium and enamel remineralization, we are describing what that ingredient has been studied for in the referenced research, not making a claim that DentiCore itself has been clinically tested to produce that exact outcome. We try to keep this distinction explicit throughout our content, and we do not describe DentiCore as clinically proven, since dietary supplements are not FDA-evaluated for efficacy the way pharmaceutical drugs are.
