Editorial Policy
Our editorial process is designed for health and supplement topics, where accuracy, uncertainty, and safety context matter as much as readability.
Research standards
Writers begin with authoritative sources such as NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheets, FDA safety communications, PubMed-indexed clinical trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, professional society guidance, and product-independent testing resources when available.
Evidence grading
| Grade | Meaning | Typical evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Strong | Consistent human evidence or established essential-nutrient role | Multiple trials, guidelines, DRIs, or accepted clinical use |
| Moderate | Promising but not definitive | Small RCTs, mixed meta-analyses, or condition-specific evidence |
| Preliminary | Early, indirect, or mechanistic | Animal, in vitro, biomarker, or limited pilot data |
Review workflow
- Topic selection from search demand, safety importance, and internal-link gaps.
- Evidence collection and source triage.
- Drafting with explicit attention to benefits, dosing, safety, and uncertainty.
- Editorial review for clarity, sourcing, claim strength, and prohibited disease-treatment language.
- Clinical or subject-matter review for medical accuracy on health-sensitive pages.
- Publication with visible author, reviewer, and last-reviewed metadata.
Corrections and updates
We correct factual errors, outdated safety information, broken references, and claim-strength problems as soon as they are identified. Health pages are reviewed on a recurring schedule, with faster updates when major safety alerts or guideline changes appear.
AI assistance
AI tools may support outlining, formatting, or internal draft generation, but AI output is not treated as a source. Medical claims must be verified against primary or authoritative references before publication.
