About MyHappyPeach
MyHappyPeach is a nutrition science resource that goes beyond surface-level vitamin and mineral guides. The site was created for health-curious adults who already know the basics and want to dig deeper into the mechanisms that make nutrition actually work.
What Makes This Site Different
Most nutrition websites recycle the same basic information — lists of foods rich in vitamin C, recommended daily allowances for calcium, or vague advice about eating more vegetables. That information has its place, but it doesn't answer the questions that come next: Why does the form of a vitamin matter? What actually happens to a phytonutrient after you eat it? Why do some people absorb nutrients better than others?
Every page on MyHappyPeach tries to answer four questions about each compound or nutrient:
- What is it? — What the compound actually is at a molecular level.
- How does it work? — The mechanism of action in your body.
- Where do you find it? — Real food sources and practical intake strategies.
- What affects absorption? — Cofactors, inhibitors, and bioavailability factors.
Our Approach
The tone here is friendly and clear, but grounded in real research. We reference peer-reviewed studies and established biochemistry, but explain things in plain language. This site is not a substitute for medical advice — it's a learning resource for people who want to understand the science behind their food.
We don't sell supplements, and we don't promote specific brands. The goal is education, not marketing.
Topics We Cover
The site is organized around several major topic areas: vitamins (with an emphasis on forms and absorption), minerals and trace elements (including ultra-trace elements most sites ignore), enzymes and digestive science, phytonutrients and bioactive compounds, cellular and mitochondrial nutrition, gut health and postbiotics, xenohormesis and hormetic compounds, and anti-nutrients and bioavailability.
