Evidence-led research
We prioritise original research, government health resources, recognised medical institutions, regulatory documents, and official product information.
Editorial standards
How HowToY Health creates and maintains content
This policy explains how we research supplement topics, evaluate evidence, separate editorial work from commercial relationships, correct errors, and communicate important limitations.
Last updated: July 26, 2026
Clear evidence boundaries
Research on a single ingredient is not presented as proof that a complete commercial supplement produces the same outcome.
Commercial transparency
Affiliate relationships are disclosed and do not guarantee favourable coverage, ratings, recommendations, or placement.
Medical limitations
Our content is educational and does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or replace advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
Correction and update process
Material factual errors are corrected, and pages may be updated when product formulas, prices, seller terms, or relevant evidence change.
No fabricated experience
We do not claim to have purchased, tested, or personally used a product unless that experience actually occurred and is clearly documented.
Source selection
We aim to rely on sources appropriate to the claim being examined. These may include peer-reviewed studies, systematic reviews, government agencies, recognised medical institutions, regulatory authorities, official product labels, seller terms, and primary company documents.
Marketing pages, customer testimonials, affiliate materials, and retailer descriptions may help identify claims or purchasing conditions, but they are not treated as independent scientific evidence.
Evaluating scientific evidence
We consider the study design, population, dosage, duration, outcome measured, sample size, limitations, consistency, and relevance to the product being discussed.
Laboratory, animal, observational, and human clinical evidence are not treated as interchangeable. Preliminary findings are described as preliminary rather than presented as established conclusions.
Product reviews
Reviews may assess formula transparency, ingredient dosages, available evidence, safety considerations, cost per serving, subscription conditions, refund policies, seller transparency, and relevant alternatives.
A product page remains excluded from search indexing while its core facts and sources are incomplete or unverified.
Read our review methodology →Artificial intelligence assistance
Artificial intelligence tools may assist with drafting, organising information, identifying research questions, or improving clarity. AI-generated output is not treated as a factual source.
Claims intended for publication should be checked against appropriate sources. AI assistance does not remove the need for editorial verification, source review, and correction of unsupported statements.
Medical review
A page will only be described as medically reviewed when an appropriately qualified professional has genuinely reviewed it. The reviewer's identity, qualifications, and review date should be displayed on that page.
Content without such a review will not imply or display medical approval.
Affiliate relationships
HowToY Health may earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through affiliate links. These relationships do not guarantee a positive conclusion or prevent us from identifying weak evidence, unclear terms, safety concerns, or unsuitable use cases.
Read our affiliate disclosure →Corrections
Readers, companies, researchers, and healthcare professionals may report suspected factual errors. Correction requests should include the relevant page URL, the disputed statement, and supporting documentation where available.
Valid material errors may be corrected promptly. Minor edits for spelling, formatting, or clarity may be made without a separate correction notice.
Report an error: contact@howtoy.comContent updates
Pages may be reviewed when new research appears or when product formulas, labels, prices, availability, seller policies, or regulatory information change.
Publication and update dates should reflect meaningful editorial changes rather than being altered solely to create an appearance of freshness.
Reader responsibility
HowToY Health provides general educational information. Readers remain responsible for consulting qualified healthcare professionals and verifying current seller terms before making medical or purchasing decisions.
