This page explains how U Heal Life researches and writes about supplements and other health products, so you know what to expect and what we do not do.
Who Writes Our Articles
Our articles are written by the U Heal Life editorial team. We are not doctors, pharmacists or dietitians, and our articles are not medical advice. At the moment our supplement articles are not reviewed by a licensed clinician. If that changes, we will say so on the article and name the reviewer.
How We Research
- We use public information from reputable sources, such as the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, MedlinePlus and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
- When we describe what a company says about its own product, we label it as the company’s claim and not as a proven fact
- We look at what the evidence does and does not show, including where research is small, mixed or missing
- We link to our sources where we can
What We Do Not Do
- We do not personally test or use the products we write about, unless an article clearly says we did
- We do not run lab tests
- We do not give products scores or star ratings
- We do not claim that a supplement treats, cures or prevents a disease
- We do not tell you to stop or change a medicine
Affiliate Links and Money
Some articles contain affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These links are marked as sponsored, and each article with them has a clear disclosure. A commission does not change what we write. If a product has weak evidence, side effects or risks, we say so.
Our Rules on Health Claims
- We write about what research suggests, in careful words, and avoid promises like “guaranteed” or “instant”
- We mention safety points, such as interactions with medicines and who should be careful
- We encourage you to talk to a doctor or pharmacist before starting any supplement
Updates and Corrections
Health information changes. Each supplement article shows a “last updated” date. If you spot a mistake or an out-of-date claim, please tell us through our contact page and we will review it.
