Research built by a team,
not a single byline.

Every guide, review, and ingredient breakdown is produced collectively — researchers, clinicians, and data engineers working from primary sources, against a public scoring rubric, with no brand-side conflicts.

Research & Analysis
Naked Compound Research Team

In-house researchers, clinicians, and data engineers who build and maintain Naked Compound's ingredient database, scoring engine, and long-form research library. Every piece is evidence-graded, India-contextualised, and produced against a public methodology — reviewed by more than one person before it goes live. No sponsored posts. No paid placements. No brand-side conflicts.

Sumita Bhatti
Clinical Nutritionist · Vitamins & Minerals

Sumita brings 15+ years of clinical nutrition practice to Naked Compound's vitamins and minerals pipeline — including nearly nine years as Nutrition Manager at HealthifyMe, where she reviewed hundreds of supplement stacks across India's most diverse user base. Her work at Intellect and as a Clinical Dietitian informs her India-specific framing: she understands that D3 dosing for a Bengaluru software engineer is not the same problem as D3 dosing for a Stockholm office worker, and she writes accordingly.

At Naked Compound, Sumita focuses on the vitamins, minerals, and women's health review pipeline — categories where her clinical depth and food safety regulatory background (Indian Institute for Food Safety certificate; FSSAI-adjacent regulatory experience) make her the right person to write the FSSAI/Schedule K sections that most supplement reviewers skip entirely.

Editorial policy

How authorship works on Naked Compound.

Named contributors write and own specific pieces. Every published piece is then reviewed by a second member of the research team against our ingredient database before it goes live — no single contributor's opinion is the editorial position.

Our methodology, scoring rubric, and conflicts-of-interest policy are public and versioned. Read the full methodology →
