Verified
By Science

At Zdrava Hrana Saveti, we don't follow trends. We translate rigorous clinical research into actionable dietary plans for the Serbian landscape. Accuracy is our primary obligation to your health.

How We Vet
Every Claim

Our verification process ensures that no recommendation leaves our Niš office without enduring a multi-layered filter of academic and clinical scrutiny.

Initial Hypothesis Mapping

Every nutritional strategy starts with a specific health objective. We begin by identifying the physiological mechanism involved—whether it is glycemic control, lipid profile management, or micronutrient absorption—and mapping it against established metabolic pathways.

The Meta-Analysis Filter

We prioritize large-scale meta-analyses and systematic reviews over single-study outcomes. To be included in a Zdrava Hrana Saveti plan, a claim must be supported by consistent data across multiple peer-reviewed journals, specifically filtering for randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Internal Metric

"We exclude studies with significant industry funding bias or those conducted on non-human subjects if the metabolic pathway differs significantly."

Contextual Localization

Science must meet the reality of the Serbian market. We verify availability of specific food groups in local Niš markets and regional suppliers (pijace), ensuring that theoretical nutrition is practically achievable for our clients.

Regional nutrition sources
Foundational Data

Primary Sources

Regulatory Standards

EFSA Standards

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) provides the baseline for our Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) and safety thresholds for supplements and additives used in our dietary plans.

Clinical Research

PubMed Central (PMC)

We leverage the National Library of Medicine’s database to track longitudinal studies on microbiome health, cardiovascular nutrition, and endocrine function relative to diet.

Regional Data

Batut Institute

The Institute of Public Health of Serbia (Dr Milan Jovanović Batut) provides the epidemiological context for our regional recommendations, focusing on local nutritional deficiencies.

The Bio-Validity Filter

"A fact is only a fact if it can be reproduced across heterogeneous populations. We apply three non-negotiable criteria to every piece of nutritional data before it reaches your consultation."

A
The p-Value Check

We analyze the statistical significance of studies, ensuring outcomes aren't due to random chance. We look for p < 0.05 across multiple independent trials.

B
Bio-Chemistry Logic

The claim must align with established human biochemistry. If a trend contradicts the Krebs cycle or basic hormonal signaling, it's discarded.

C
Dosage Realism

Many studies use dosages impossible via whole foods. We verify that "beneficial effects" are achievable through a balanced, sustainable diet.

D
The Ethics Audit

We only reference research that adheres to the Declaration of Helsinki, ensuring the evidence we use was gathered ethically and transparently.
