01. Evidence Hierarchy
Our editorial team prioritizes meta-analyses and systematic reviews from respected journals. We evaluate protein sources based on their amino acid profile and absorption efficiency, specifically focusing on PDCAAS and DIAAS scores. If a nutrient lacks a consensus in peer-reviewed sports nutrition literature, we state the uncertainty clearly.
02. Local Contextualization
Global data is only useful if it is applicable. We adapt broad nutrition standards to regional Dutch food logistics. Our meal suggestions utilize ingredients readily available in the Netherlands, ensuring that high-performance eating is accessible and sustainable for the local active demographic.
03. Privacy & Ethics
Transparency extends to how we handle your information. Dutch Gains is committed to user data privacy. We do not sell your navigation habits to supplement giants, and our reviews are never pay-to-play. We provide educational guidance to supplement, not replace, physical check-ups.
Integrity is the foundation of performance.
We do not accept payments for positive coverage. Our guides follow the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) guidelines to ensure every calorie counts.
