How we write, source, and disclose.
A health review only matters if you can trust how it was made. Here are the rules we follow on every article.
01 · Independence
No brand pays for a positive review.
We don't accept payment in exchange for coverage. We don't accept free product in exchange for a guaranteed positive write-up. Brands cannot review or approve our copy before it runs. Where a commercial affiliate relationship exists, we say so at the top of the article and again next to the first product link.
02 · Real testing
Every review starts with a real test.
Our reviews come from writers who actually use the product. For long-term protocols, the test runs at least three weeks. For category comparisons, we test multiple products in the category before declaring a winner. We do not write reviews based only on press releases or product copy.
03 · Source verification
Claims trace back to a real source.
When we cite a study, we link to the study. When we describe a mechanism, we describe what the research actually shows, not what the marketing implies. When the evidence is preliminary, we say so. When something is anecdotal, we label it.
04 · Affiliate disclosure
If a link earns us money, we tell you.
Some articles contain affiliate links. When you click and buy, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This is disclosed in a labeled block at the bottom of every advertorial article and in the article's opening paragraph. More on how we make money.
05 · Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it visibly.
Errors get corrected as soon as we're aware of them. Material corrections are noted at the bottom of the article with the date the correction was made. We don't quietly edit and pretend the original never existed.
06 · Editorial review
A second pair of eyes reads everything.
Every article passes through an editor before publication. For health-related claims, we run a fact-check pass against the cited literature. For product reviews involving regulated categories, we add the appropriate FDA, MHRA, or equivalent disclaimer.
