About Us

Evidence-Based Biology, Biochemistry & Supplement Analysis

Independent label audits, mechanism-first biology education, and open data — no hype, no affiliate-driven claims.

The Mission

BioLyceum exists to bridge the gap between biochemical reality and commercial health claims. In an industry saturated with marketing hype and misleading supplement labels, we provide rigorous, independent, and open-source analysis: transcribing real Supplement Facts panels, calculating true elemental loads from chemical salt fractions, and cross-referencing every claim against peer-reviewed literature. Biology deserves better than blog folklore.

The Founder

Z. Akhtar, MSc, MPhil
Biochemist & Independent Researcher

Z. Akhtar holds a Master of Science in Life Sciences (Specialization in Biochemistry, Zoology, and Plant Sciences) and an MPhil in Biological Sciences. His work spans nutritional biochemistry — supplement label audits and mineral bioavailability — and, at his sister research project SereneSynth, the acoustic physics of auditory protocols.

Our Methodology

Every audit and article on BioLyceum follows a strict, reproducible scientific method:

• Supplement & Label Audits: We transcribe physical Supplement Facts panels, calculate true elemental mineral loads based on chemical salt fractions, analyse cost per effective dose, and cross-reference bioavailability against peer-reviewed pharmacokinetic literature.
• Biology Education: Mechanism-first explanations grounded in peer-reviewed sources, with the evidence tier of every claim stated openly.

Sister Project: SereneSynth

BioLyceum and SereneSynth are two independent brands by the same founder, held to the same open-science standard. BioLyceum covers biology and nutrition; SereneSynth covers sound. At SereneSynth, the identical measurement discipline is applied to auditory protocols — browser-synthesized binaural beats, isochronic tones and noise floors verified by 16,384-bin FFT spectral analysis — and its acoustic verification dataset is archived on Zenodo under the same ORCID iD. Shared founder, shared methodology, separate scopes.

Sister Project Dataset: Acoustic Verification v1 (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.22812760)

Open Science Commitment

All raw data generated by either project — supplement label transcriptions or acoustic measurements — is archived under open-access licences (CC-BY-4.0) on institutional repositories such as Zenodo (hosted by CERN). Claims without data are opinions; we publish data.
