What Body Unpacked does

Follow a food into your body. Pick spinach, tap iron, and see the established job iron does, where in the body it does it, and what the evidence actually says.

Body Unpacked is an interactive health-education app built around one idea: foods contain nutrients, nutrients have established roles, and those roles happen in real places in your body. Every step is sourced and every number shows where it comes from.

Choose one of 44 everyday foods and watch a living graph draw itself: food, then the nutrients it contains, then each nutrient's established physiological roles, then the body places where they happen. Values come from USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy) and each %DV shows its amount basis and the FDA reference it uses. Missing data is shown as missing, never as zero. Prefer reading?
