Background

Maya spent the better part of a decade working through the same questions most readers are asking: does this supplement actually do what the label claims? What does bioavailability really mean when the numbers come back from a third-party lab? Her background is in clinical nutrition research, with a specific focus on how minerals and fat-soluble compounds move through the digestive system.

Before joining the Natural Serene Health editorial team, she spent years reviewing Certificate of Analysis documents, cross-referencing lab methods, and translating technical specifications into language a reader can actually use. The phrase “below LOD” — below limit of detection — comes up a lot in her drafts. She thinks it should come up a lot more in supplement marketing.

On her own shelf: a ceramic jar of raw shilajit resin, a refrigerated bottle of liposomal vitamin C, and a kitchen scale she uses more than most people would consider reasonable.
