How We Review Supplements
We use an AI-assisted editorial workflow to organize product information and research. AI helps with discovery and structure; it does not prove that a supplement works or replace human judgment.
Our five-step review process
A practical process built around traceable information and clear limits.
Define the reader question
We start with the decision a reader is trying to make and the limits of what the page can answer.
Check current product information
We compare the available label and vendor information before discussing a formula.
Review ingredient-level evidence
When evidence is relevant, we prioritize original human research and reputable evidence summaries.
Separate evidence from marketing
Ingredient findings are not treated as proof that a finished product will produce the same result.
Edit, disclose, and update
We review claims, add affiliate and health disclosures, and correct pages when material information changes.
How we interpret evidence
A citation supports only the specific question, ingredient, dose, population, and outcome it actually studied.
Relevance
A study is useful only when its ingredient, dose, population, and outcome fit the statement being discussed.
- Ingredient and form
- Dose
- Population
- Measured outcome
Study quality
We consider design strengths and weaknesses instead of treating every citation as equal.
- Study design
- Sample size
- Comparison group
- Duration and limitations
Product-level limits
Research on an ingredient does not automatically validate a branded formula or predict an individual result.
- Finished-product trials
- Label match
- Conflicts of interest
- Uncertainty stated
Transparency and accountability
Sources where they matter
Research-dependent statements should link to the source used or clearly state when evidence is limited.
Affiliate disclosure

Health boundaries

What AI does—and does not do
AI can assist with
- • Organizing product and topic information
- • Finding candidate sources for editorial review
- • Flagging potentially risky wording
- • Keeping page structure and disclosures consistent
AI cannot establish
- • That a finished supplement is effective
- • That a product is safe for a specific person
- • That a testimonial or vendor claim is representative
- • A diagnosis, treatment plan, or guaranteed outcome
Compare with the limits in view
Our pages are designed to help you review labels, ingredient context, safety questions, and vendor terms—not to promise a health result.
