The Challenge

Plant-forward diets are healthy. But they come with blind spots.

40%

of adults are actively reducing meat consumption

92%

of plant-forward eaters have at least one nutrient gap

critical nutrients are commonly missed: B12, Iron, Zinc, Omega-3, Vitamin D, Iodine

Most nutrition apps count calories. Balance Score counts what actually matters — whether your body is getting all 25 essential nutrients it needs.

Statistics are directional estimates based on published research on flexitarian and plant-based dietary patterns. Individual results vary.

The Science

Built on peer-reviewed nutrition research

NCS Algorithm v1

Nutritional Completeness Score calculated from 25 essential nutrients with 9 bioavailability modifiers. Adjusts absorption rates based on meal composition — vitamin C boosts iron uptake, phytates reduce zinc, tannins block iron.

USDA-Verified Database

2,174 foods with complete nutrient profiles (27 nutrients each). Fuzzy text matching with typo tolerance plus AI fallback for foods not in the database.

Evidence-Based Targets

RDA values sourced from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements and IOM Dietary Reference Intakes. Targets personalized by sex, life stage, and dietary pattern.
