Editorial standards
Editorial Standards: How Claims Are Quoted, Sourced and Corrected
Every page quotes the seller's claims, sets them beside public research, links each number, and avoids promises about disease. Sources come from health agencies, regulators and peer-reviewed reviews. Mistakes are corrected openly with a date, and no page tells a reader to stop or change medicine.

The rules01
Eight rules every page must pass
Health content about a supplement can easily drift into promises it cannot back. These rules are the guard rails, and each is checked before a page goes live.
Quote, then answer
A seller claim appears in quotation marks and is followed by what research shows. We never state a sales claim as our own voice.
No treatment promises
No page says a supplement treats, clears, prevents or undoes a disease. The FDA states that supplements are not intended to do so and are not approved before sale (FDA, Using Dietary Supplements).
No invented facts
Prices, ratings, reviews, photos, names and credentials appear only if they exist in the documents we were given. Where they do not exist, an open slot is shown instead.
Numbers need links
Each figure, such as the iodine upper limit or the trial count, is tied to a numbered source on the same page.
Medicine stays
Pages never tell readers to stop, skip or change a prescribed medicine. They say to ask the prescriber.
Missing is reported
If the label prints no amounts, the page says so. Silence in a document is treated as a finding.
Plain words
Short sentences, defined terms and tables for comparisons, so a reader under stress can still follow.
Corrections are public
A fix is made fast and dated, and the old claim is not quietly deleted.
Sources02
How sources are chosen and ranked
Not every source weighs the same, and we say which kind each reference is.
| Rank | Source type | Used for | Example topic |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Systematic reviews and agency pages | Whether an ingredient helps a condition | Cochrane on saw palmetto (Cochrane review, saw palmetto 2023); NCCIH (NCCIH, Saw Palmetto) |
| 2 | Government nutrient fact sheets | Daily needs and upper limits | NIH iodine fact sheet (NIH ODS, Iodine) |
| 3 | Professional society statements | Safety advice by clinicians | American Thyroid Association on iodine (ATA, Excess iodine) |
| 4 | Patient-information bodies | Plain-language disease facts | NIDDK on an enlarged prostate (NIDDK, Enlarged Prostate (BPH)) |
| 5 | Single trials | Dose and design detail | Saw palmetto trial in 225 men (Bent et al., NEJM 2006) |
| 6 | The seller's own documents | What the product claims | Info page and bottle images, always quoted |
Seller documents sit last on purpose. They tell us what is claimed, and the research above tells us whether the claim stands. When a link could not be opened during checking, the reference says so rather than implying a source was read.
We avoid forums, undated blog posts and ranking sites that cannot show their method. We also avoid citing a single small trial as if it settled a question, because small trials tend to overstate effects and are often not repeated.
Tone03
The careful tone for health topics
Search engines and readers both treat health advice as a high-stakes area, and so do we. The tone rules follow from that. We say supports, is said to, may, and was studied for, instead of fixes, boosts or restores. We give the size of a trial, not only its result. We describe a study in mice as a study in mice.
We also avoid urgency. Countdown timers, scarcity banners and fear lines such as warnings that a condition will get worse have no place beside a health product. The prices on the pricing page are shown as they are listed, and nothing on this site is framed as expiring unless the seller states it.
Finally, we never discourage care. A man with urinary symptoms should know that a clinician can test for causes a supplement cannot touch, and that PSA and exam decisions are made with a doctor (NCI, PSA test). Our doctor visit guide exists so that the next step is easier, not so that a product page can stand in for one.
If a sentence on this site makes a health promise, it breaks our rules. Tell us, and we will fix it and date the fix.
Fixing errors04
How corrections and updates work
Facts change. Prices move, policies are revised, and new trials appear. Every page carries a review date, and a material change is logged at the foot of the page where it applies.
- Report
A reader, clinician or the seller writes via the contact page, naming the page and the line.
- Check
We open the cited source again, or ask for one, and compare it with the sentence.
- Fix
The sentence is corrected or removed, and any related line on other pages is updated.
- Date
The page review date changes, and a short note says what was corrected.
We do not delete a correction later to make the page look cleaner. A visible record of fixes is part of how trust is earned.
Limits05
What these standards cannot guarantee
Standards reduce error; they do not remove it. Public research changes, a source can be updated after we read it, and a product can change its formula without notice. Your own health is also outside what any web page can know.
That is why the pages end where they do: with a question to ask a professional. Read the disclaimer for the formal statement, the testing and quality page for what has and has not been verified about the product, and the about page for who stands behind the desk.
If you are comparing our approach with another site's, ask them three things: do they quote the claim, do they link the number, and do they say what is missing. Those three checks sort careful pages from sales pages faster than any star rating.
- Serenoa repens for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic enlargement. Franco JVA, Trivisonno L, Sgarbossa NJ, et al. (Cochrane Database Syst Rev, CD001423), 2023.Published 22 June 2023, searched to September 2022: 27 randomized trials with 4,656 men (19 saw palmetto alone versus placebo, 8 combination herbal products). Saw palmetto alone provides little to no benefit for men with lower urinary tract symptoms from benign prostatic enlargement; adverse events were about the same as placebo. The review is less certain about combination products.
- Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test. National Cancer Institute, 2025.BPH and prostatitis can raise PSA. Finasteride and dutasteride lower PSA, so men taking them are assessed with a lower cutoff. A level above 4.0 ng/mL is generally considered abnormal, though some doctors use age-based cutoffs. PSA is not recommended for routine screening of the general population; men considering it should discuss risks and benefits with a doctor.
- Information for Consumers on Using Dietary Supplements. U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 2026.FDA is not authorized to approve dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness before they are marketed. Firms can lawfully introduce supplements without notifying FDA. Talk to a doctor, pharmacist or other professional before buying or using a supplement.
- Health Products Compliance Guidance. Federal Trade Commission, 2022.Health claims must be backed by competent and reliable scientific evidence, generally randomized controlled human trials on the same product, dose and population being advertised. Testimonials and animal or lab studies alone are not enough, and a disclaimer does not fix a misleading claim.
FAQ06
Prostadine questions people ask
What sources do you use?
Health agencies, government fact sheets, professional societies and peer-reviewed reviews come first. The seller's own documents are quoted only to show what is claimed.
Do you ever write that Prostadine treats a condition?
No. We quote what the seller says and set it beside research. No page promises treatment or prevention, and the FDA does not approve supplements before sale.
What happens if you find an error?
It is corrected quickly and dated on the page. We do not quietly remove a wrong claim, and related pages are updated at the same time.
Can I suggest a better source?
Yes. Send the link and the page it relates to through the contact page. We will check it and update the reference if it fits.
