Editorial method

Science without the marketing layer.

Every article is built from primary literature — clinical trials, meta-analyses, and peer-reviewed research. We translate the mechanism, not the marketing copy. When evidence is preliminary, conflicting, or absent, we say so explicitly.

Primary sourcesPubMed-indexed studies, clinical trials, systematic reviews.
No marketing copyNo sponsored content, no paid placement, no copy from supplement brands.
Corrections welcomeFactual corrections from clinicians and researchers are reviewed and applied openly.
