Editorial Policy

This page lays out precisely how a review on this site comes together. It holds for every product, with zero carve-outs for advertisers or affiliate partners.

1. How a product ends up covered

We track search demand. Once a product begins running paid ads and people start looking up its name alongside "review", "scam" or "does it work", it means a buyer somewhere needs an answer. That is the cue for us to publish.

We take no payment for coverage, and being an affiliate partner earns a product no jump in the queue.

2. What we look into

• The claim. We go through the official sales page and log the specific promises — the outcome, the timeline, the guarantee.
• The formula. The ingredient list, the doses disclosed, and what published research actually backs for those ingredients at those levels. Proprietary blends that conceal amounts get called out for it.
• The company. Whether a real, identifiable business sits behind the label, where the product is manufactured, and how long the brand has been around.
• The purchase. The true per-unit price, the shipping, whether the discount is actually permanent, and — above all — whether checkout quietly signs you up for an auto-ship subscription.
• The refund. The policy on paper, plus what buyers say about actually getting their money back.
• Buyer feedback. Independent reviews and complaints, weighted toward what people report after 30 days rather than on day one.

3. How we score

Our rating measures how well a product lives up to its own promise for the money — not how fond we are of the category. A solid product with a modest claim can beat a flashy one that oversells.

Scores point you in a direction; they are not lab-precise. The written verdict always holds more than the number does, which is exactly why we ask you to read it.

4. Conflicts of interest

Most products we review carry an affiliate link, and that relationship is disclosed on every page that has one. It buys a merchant no right to preview our draft, sign off on a score, or ask for a change once we have published.

5. Updates and corrections

Every review shows an "updated" date. We go back to a review when the formula shifts, the price shifts, the refund policy shifts, or when readers tell us something that contradicts what we ran. Corrections happen right on the page — never through a silent deletion.

6. What we will not publish

• Health claims we cannot stand behind, including any hint that a supplement treats or cures a disease.
• Before-and-after photos passed off as typical results.
• Manufactured urgency — countdown clocks, invented stock counts, or "offer ends tonight" language.
• Fabricated customer testimonials.
