Editorial policy: how we write
This page explains how articles and reviews on Wellnyra are researched, written and updated. It is the standard we hold every page to.
1. Sources
- Health claims come from peer-reviewed studies (we link to PubMed or the journal) or from US health agencies: NIH and its institutes, CDC, FDA, the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.
- We prefer systematic reviews, meta-analyses and large cohort studies (for example the SWAN study on the menopause transition) over single small trials.
- We do not cite other affiliate sites, press releases, manufacturer testimonials or forum posts as evidence.
- If we cannot find a source, the claim is not published.
2. How we read a study
For every study we cite, we ask: who was studied, how many, for how long, and how big was the effect? We say so in the article. When a study was done in men, in young adults or in animals, we tell you, because the result may not apply to a woman in her 50s.
3. Language
We write in plain English. We avoid marketing words ("melt fat", "reset your hormones", "miracle") and we do not promise results. Where there is real scientific disagreement, we say so instead of picking a side.
4. Supplement reviews
A Wellnyra review is built from four things: the official Supplement Facts label (image, not just the sales text), the seller's offer page and checkout, the seller's refund policy, and the published research on each named ingredient at the dose used, when the dose is disclosed.
Each review states what we did and did not do. In most cases we have not bought or tested the product, and we say so. We list cons as fully as pros. When a product's main claim has no evidence behind it, the review says exactly that, even though the page may earn a commission if you buy.
Prices, packages and refund terms are checked on the date shown in the review. They can change at any time; the seller's checkout is the final word.
5. Dates and updates
Every article shows its publication date and last update date. We review articles when new research changes the picture or a reader reports an error. Corrections are made on the page and the update date is changed.
6. Independence and funding
Wellnyra is funded by affiliate commissions on some review pages. We accept no payment from manufacturers for coverage, we do not publish sponsored articles, and no company sees a review before it is published. See the affiliate disclosure.
7. Not medical advice
We are health writers and researchers, not doctors. Wellnyra does not diagnose, treat or replace a consultation with a qualified health professional. Every article tells you when to talk to your doctor, and we mean it.
