Editorial Policy

Supplement Explained is built around a trust-first editorial standard for a YMYL-sensitive topic. A page should make a reader better informed, not more vulnerable to hype.

Core principles

• Clarity over jargon
• Evidence over marketing
• Decision support over vague wellness copy
• Safety and tradeoffs, not just upside
• Transparency over authority theater

Claims we do not make

We do not write as though a supplement diagnoses, treats, cures, reverses, or prevents disease. We do not present weak or mixed evidence as settled fact. We do not imply firsthand product testing, medical review, or clinical authority when that is not true.

What every important page should include

• A clear opening answer
• Evidence context and uncertainty
• Safety or interaction context when relevant
• References to primary or higher-quality sources
• Visible last reviewed or last updated information
• A clear next-step path to related pages

Corrections and updates

Pages may be updated when evidence shifts, safety context changes, wording needs correction, or site standards improve. Material corrections should be reflected clearly rather than silently hidden.
