About us: What is ProvenHealthBenefits.com?

ProvenHealthBenefits.com is an online resource for scientific and research-based wellness and natural health articles. The web portal was created and is run by the Brazilian company Invest and Health. Proven Health Benefits is the hub for all its theme-based websites covering research-based information. Hopefully, we have made the information accessible for you and easy to follow.

Wellness comes from nature

Our mission is to help people understand the science behind mother nature’s many potential health benefits by covering in-depth analyses of specific topics within the realms of natural health. We do not provide any type of medical advice, but we want to empower people to take control of their health based on the latest science. We hope that the information we provide will enable you to make better health decisions for yourself and your family.

Science-based health information you can trust

The owner of Invest and Health and editor-in-chief for all our websites, science reviews, and research-based information is Professor Renata de Souza Sampaio Turoey.

As a scientist, she seeks to document the many proven health benefits uncovered by the scientific community in the field of natural products and bioactive compounds. And to make this information available in a way that is transparent and easy to follow for anyone interested in wellness and a healthier lifestyle.

The main people behind ProvenHealthBenefits.com

Biology and bioactive compounds

Professor Renata de Souza Sampaio Turoey is a biologist and holds a doctorate in natural and synthetic bioactive products in pharmacology from the Federal University of Paraiba in Brazil. She is our lead research scientist and the author of all the science-based content. If needed, she may also consult with healthcare professionals we collaborate with (mentioned below).

Here is a list of Renata's scientific contributions to improve the knowledge and understanding of bioactive compounds, as an author and co-author:

Partnerships and Marketing

Our online strategist, partnership manager, and responsible for translations into English and Norwegian is Audun Turoey. He has 25 years of experience with dietary supplements, natural health, and marketing, but no formal training in these areas.

Health professionals we collaborate with

Medicine and family health

We base our website content on clinical studies, that is, studies in humans. In some cases, we may include the results from studies on animals as a curiosity. And in certain situations, we may refer to in-vitro studies, if no other alternatives are available. All scientific references will reflect what type of study we refer to on all our since-based websites.

Pharmacology

For orientation related to medications and pharmaceutical drugs, we consult pharmacist Daniel Souza Bezerra, who has a master's degree in Biological Chemistry from the Regional University of Cariri in Ceara, Brazil. Daniel is currently undergoing his residency training in Clinical Pharmacy at the Federal University of Paraiba, with an emphasis on critically ill patients at the Lauro Wanderley University Hospital.

Trustworthy wellness information revised by humans

Despite the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI tools related to parts of our growth, we are real people offering a human-to-human connection through the content we create. We always strive to offer reliable research and deliver high-quality, evidence-based health information to our readers. And although we do harness the power of AI, it is always under the supervision of human intelligence. All facts are verified by our researcher, and, for transparency and academic accuracy, scientific citations are always included.

A personal quest for better health

In the age of AI, it is important to point out that we do not operate with the uncertainties associated with artificial intelligence. Professor Renata Turoey always researches our content with the aim of providing our visitors with actionable insights. We also use the information we uncover in clinical studies to enhance our own wellness strategies.

Our websites are environmentally friendly and socially responsible

A selection of personal favorite superfoods and supplements are amla, beta-glucans, turmeric, moringa, mushrooms, and spirulina. All of these have well-researched scientific merits when it comes to personal health. Detailed information concerning these and other natural products will become available on dedicated websites focusing on their science-backed benefits.

We strive to ensure our content is accurate and do our best to avoid errors. However, we cannot guarantee that what we publish is always accurate. You use the content we provide at your own risk. Please read our Medical Disclaimer for more information.

We care about your privacy

The companies we all interact with in this digital age constantly disregard our privacy. Each time we use an app, visit a website, listen to music, or access any type of digital content, our actions are monitored, analyzed, and exploited for commercial gains. Thus, when building our websites, we always prefer using privacy-first solutions that align with our views on the right to protect personal data.

We give you peace of mind

We prioritize privacy and assume it is essential to you, too. For example, we adopted HockeyStack’s privacy-friendly and cookie-less analytics technology (adhering to GDPR/DDPA) as a replacement for Google Analytics. We do not deem the collection of personal information or IP addresses necessary. To ensure peace of mind for all the people who use our website, we always search for the best viable solutions to uphold privacy for visitors. For more details, visit our Privacy Policy page.

Protect yourself online

For online privacy and security, we also recommend our visitors switch to more secure and private services, such as Brave Browser, Proton Mail (free account available), and Proton VPN. This will help keep you safe from the prying eyes of Google, Facebook, and others.

This is what we do not do

We do not make any kind of health claims on behalf of the health products or superfoods we present. We only convey what we find of potential positive health effects and side effects in studies and always include all relevant references.

No medical advice from us

We do not provide any form of medical advice or guidance. The information we present from studies on healthy foods, superfoods, or supplements is not intended to cure any disease or allege any health effects. You use the information we provide and the products we highlight at your own risk. Consult a knowledgeable doctor or naturopath if necessary.

We never give any health advice

We do not provide any form of personal health advice. We only publish documented scientific information on health-related topics as presented in studies by researchers. The information provided does not warrant any health effects and you alone are responsible for the decisions you make for your health. We only offer information on a general basis that we hope can help our readers make better-informed health choices.

We do not spy on our visitors
