Methodology

Citation sourcing

All citations are pulled via PubMed E-utilities and Crossref APIs and stored in Supabase. Every factual claim on this site links to the DOI or PubMed record it references. We do not cite secondary sources for clinical claims — if a study cannot be independently verified via PubMed, it does not appear as a citation.

Calculator methodology

Dosing ranges are derived from the lowest effective dose and highest tested dose in published clinical trials, adjusted for bodyweight relative to trial populations. We do not extrapolate beyond the studied population without clear notation. Form multipliers (extract vs whole powder vs tincture) reflect typical potency ratios based on extraction standards.

Affiliate disclosure

Chiomova participates in affiliate programmes with Four Sigmatic, Real Mushrooms, Host Defense, Om Mushroom, Mushroom Revival, and Doseology. Links marked with ↗ may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence dosing recommendations, species rankings, or tool outputs.

What we do not do

We do not make disease claims. We do not recommend products we have not independently researched. We do not accept sponsored content or paid placements. Every affiliate brand on this site has been evaluated against our sourcing standards before inclusion.
