Editorial policy

This page describes how content on Best Supplements Today gets made, and what we hold ourselves to. If you find something here that falls short of it, tell us and we'll fix it.

Sourcing

Claims about what an ingredient does are tied to published human research, named in the text by author and year so you can find it. We prefer systematic reviews and randomized trials, and recent work over old work. Where a claim rests on tradition rather than trials, we say that instead of implying evidence that doesn't exist.

We don't cite a study we haven't checked. An identifier that points at the wrong paper is worse than no citation at all, so every reference is verified against the source database before it's published.

Independence

Manufacturers don't review, approve, or pay for coverage here. Affiliate partnerships fund the site, and a partnership never buys a better write-up — the cons section and the "who should skip this" line stay exactly as the evidence leaves them.

We also don't run down a product to make another look better. Two formulas can solve different problems and both be worth buying; pretending otherwise would be a sales tactic, not a review.

How we use AI, and where the humans are

We use AI tools in the production process — for drafting, structuring and checking work. Every page is reviewed by a person before it publishes, and the factual claims, doses and citations are verified by a person against the original sources. A tool doesn't get the final say on anything that reaches you.

Health claims

Supplements are not drugs. Nothing on this site is described as curing, treating, reversing or preventing a disease, because that isn't what these products do and it isn't legal to say they do. We write about supporting normal, healthy function — and we point you to a doctor when that's the right answer.

Updates and corrections

Formulas change, prices change, and research moves. Reviews carry the date they were last updated. If we get something wrong, we correct the page itself rather than quietly deleting it — and if the correction changes the conclusion, we say so on the page.
