Editorial Policy

This policy explains how we create content and the standards we hold ourselves to.

Accuracy and sourcing

We base our content on primary and authoritative sources — including NINDS, the NIH, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Cochrane, and peer-reviewed research on PubMed. Key statistics and claims are cited. Where evidence is limited or emerging, we say so plainly rather than overstating it.

Honest, non-misleading language

• We do not claim that any supplement, food, or routine cures, reverses, or treats disease.
• We use hedged, accurate language ("studied for," "may support," "some people report").
• We describe what research actually found — including its limitations.
• We include "when to see a doctor" guidance and red-flag warnings where relevant.

Medical review

Articles are reviewed by an independent medical reviewer before publication. See our medical review process.

Updates and corrections

We update articles as evidence evolves and show a review date. If you spot an error, please tell us — we take corrections seriously.

Advertising and affiliates

Some content contains affiliate links. Commercial relationships never dictate our health guidance. See our affiliate disclosure.
