Last Updated: November 16, 2025

Our Commitment to Accuracy

Health3 is committed to providing accurate, evidence-based biomarker information to help you better understand your lab results. All content is created following strict standards to ensure reliability and scientific accuracy.

Content Creation Process

1. Source Selection

We only use information from:

  • Peer-reviewed medical journals - Published research from reputable scientific publications
  • Clinical laboratory standards - Guidelines from recognized medical organizations
  • Government health agencies - Data from WHO, CDC, NIH, and equivalent bodies
  • Medical textbooks - Authoritative references used in medical education
  • Professional medical societies - Guidelines from specialty organizations

2. Data Compilation

Our biomarker database is built by:

  • Extracting reference ranges from multiple authoritative sources
  • Cross-referencing values across different publications
  • Documenting the source of each reference range
  • Noting variations by age, gender, and measurement unit
  • Including relevant health impact information

3. Quality Assurance

Before publication, content undergoes:

  • Source verification - Every reference range is linked to its academic source
  • Cross-validation - Values are checked against multiple sources when available
  • Citation accuracy - All academic references include DOI, publication year, and authors
  • Technical review - Information is verified for scientific accuracy
  • Regular updates - Content is reviewed and updated as new research emerges

  • ❌ A replacement for professional medical advice
  • ❌ Reviewed by licensed physicians (content is data-driven, not clinical interpretation)
  • ❌ Diagnosing medical conditions or recommending treatments/medications
  • ❌ A substitute for consulting your healthcare provider

Note: Health3 provides general lifestyle insights based on biomarker data, but does not diagnose diseases, recommend medical treatments, or prescribe medications.
