Important limitations and clinical boundaries
This page explains what the research system can help with, where the boundaries are, and why clinical judgment still belongs with a qualified professional.
1. Not Medical Advice
All content on this platform - including compound dossiers, biomarker reference ranges, evidence grades, analysis outputs, and protocol suggestions - is provided for informational and educational purposes only.
This content does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for the professional judgment of a licensed physician, pharmacist, registered dietitian, or other qualified healthcare provider.
Do not make health decisions - including starting, stopping, or modifying any medication, supplement, or dietary protocol - based solely on information from this platform. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional who can evaluate your complete medical history, current medications, and individual circumstances.
2. Evidence Grades Are Research Quality Indicators
Our evidence grading system (A, B, C, D, X) reflects the quality and consistency of the published research for a given compound-biomarker relationship. These grades indicate how well the scientific literature supports a particular effect - they are not clinical recommendations.
Grade A does not mean "take this." It means the effect has been demonstrated consistently in well-designed randomized controlled trials. Whether that effect is relevant, safe, or beneficial for any individual depends on factors this platform cannot assess:
- Your complete medical history and current diagnoses
- All medications and other supplements you are taking
- Genetic factors and metabolic variation
- Specific lab context (for example, a high LDL result has different implications depending on whether it is accompanied by high apoB, inflammation markers, or metabolic syndrome)
A Grade C or D rating does not mean a compound is unsafe - it means the evidence base is limited. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
3. Bloodwork Analysis Tool
The bloodwork analysis feature is a research cross-reference tool. When you upload lab results or enter values manually, the platform identifies flagged biomarkers and returns a list of compounds with documented effects on those biomarkers, sorted by evidence grade.
This output is not a clinical interpretation of your bloodwork. A physician reviewing the same results considers your symptoms, history, trends over time, and clinical context that this tool does not have access to.
Specific limitations:
- Parsing and OCR errors. Bloodwork extracted from uploaded PDFs or images may contain transcription errors. Always verify extracted values against your original report during the review step.
- Reference range variation. Our reference ranges are derived from standard population norms. Optimal ranges vary by age, sex, ethnicity, and laboratory method.
- Missing biomarkers. If a biomarker in your results is not in our registry, no analysis will be generated for it. This does not mean that biomarker is unimportant.
- Interaction complexity. Compounds are analyzed individually against each biomarker. The platform does not model complex multi-compound interactions or contraindications with prescription medications.
4. Research Accuracy and Currency
We strive to accurately represent published scientific literature. However:
- Scientific understanding evolves. Findings considered Grade A today may be revised as new studies emerge. We update dossiers periodically but cannot guarantee real-time currency.
- We rely on the accuracy of the studies we cite. Errors, retractions, or misrepresentations in the primary literature may be reflected in our summaries before we identify them.
- Our evidence summaries are curated by humans and may contain errors of fact, omission, or interpretation. If you identify an inaccuracy, please contact us via the contact form.
Nothing on this platform should be interpreted as a comprehensive review of all available evidence on any topic. Compound dossiers represent a structured summary, not a systematic review or meta-analysis.
5. Pharmaceutical Content
Where the platform includes information about pharmaceutical drugs (for example, statins or metformin), this content is provided solely for educational reference - to help users understand how prescription medications may interact with biomarkers alongside nutraceutical interventions.
We do not advise on, recommend, or facilitate access to prescription medications. Pharmaceutical drugs require prescriptions, carry significant interaction and contraindication profiles, and must be managed by a licensed physician or pharmacist. Any pharmaceutical content on this platform is background reference only.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Luneri Health expressly disclaims all liability for:
- Any adverse health outcomes, side effects, drug interactions, or medical events arising from use of information on this platform
- Decisions made based on analysis outputs, compound dossiers, evidence grades, or protocol suggestions
- Inaccuracies in parsed or OCR-extracted bloodwork values
- Errors, omissions, or outdated information in research summaries
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call emergency services immediately. Do not consult this platform in an emergency situation.
7. Regulatory Notice
The statements and compound data on this platform have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), or any other regulatory body.
Nutraceutical compounds, dietary supplements, and functional foods discussed on this platform are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Regulatory status of supplements varies by jurisdiction - always verify legality and safety with a local healthcare provider.
8. When to See a Professional
We strongly recommend consulting a qualified healthcare professional in the following circumstances, and in many others:
- Before starting any new supplement, especially if you are taking prescription medications
- If your bloodwork shows values significantly outside the reference range
- If you have a diagnosed medical condition that a compound may affect
- If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant
- If you are under 18 years of age
- Before making dietary changes intended to treat a medical condition
A physician can order additional tests, assess clinical context, and monitor you in ways this platform cannot.
