How We Review
LAST UPDATED 1 SEPTEMBER 2026
What a review here is, and is not
We review what a seller publishes and what it charges. We do not run laboratory tests, we do not commission clinical trials, and we do not tell you that a product worked for us. When a page says something, it is because the seller published it or because it can be checked against a document.
The four questions we ask of every supplement
- Is the full ingredient panel published before checkout? That is the document that lets you compare a formula against what you already take and hand it to a pharmacist.
- Is it a one-time purchase or a subscription? Auto-ship is where most supplement complaints begin. We look at the order form, not the marketing copy.
- When does the refund clock start, and who pays return shipping? Sixty days from purchase and sixty days from delivery are different promises.
- What does the price per unit do across pack sizes? A steep discount on the largest bundle is normal; it should not be what decides the purchase.
Where the numbers come from
Every price, pack size, shipping term and guarantee wording is read directly from the seller’s own checkout and FAQ, and the date it was read is printed on the page. Quoted statements are reproduced verbatim and attributed. When a manufacturer does not publish something, we say it is not published rather than filling the gap.
What changes a page
New information from the manufacturer, a change in price or terms, or a reader correction. When a page changes materially, the date at the top changes with it.
Where money enters
After the review is written. Commission does not decide what a page says, and a reservation raised in a review stays in the published version.
