At SupplementMag.com, our reviews follow a structured, step-by-step method designed to ensure accuracy, fairness, and transparency. We want readers to know exactly how each review is created, from the first stage of research to the final stage of publication.

Step 1: Product Information Collection

Every review begins with a detailed review of the product itself. We examine:

• Product packaging and labeling
• Manufacturer’s claims and marketing materials
• Ingredient lists and dosages
• Any certifications or third-party testing provided

This stage establishes a foundation for our evaluation and identifies the claims we need to fact-check.

Step 2: Scientific Research and Evidence

We investigate each ingredient and claim using authoritative sources. Our team consults:

• PubMed for peer-reviewed studies
• Cochrane Library for systematic reviews
• NIH Office of Dietary Supplements for nutrient data
• NCCIH for herbal and integrative therapies

We then compare product dosages with those tested in studies. If evidence supports a claim, we explain it clearly. If evidence is limited, conflicting, or inconclusive, we highlight that too.

Step 3: Safety and Risk Evaluation

Effectiveness is meaningless without safety. We carefully examine:

• Known side effects from sources like MedlinePlus
• Possible drug or condition interactions
• Regulatory warnings from the FDA or EFSA
• Manufacturing standards, such as GMP compliance

If risks exist, we describe them in plain language so readers can make informed choices.

Step 4: Expert Review and Oversight

Our reviews go through multiple layers of review before publication:

• Research Phase: Facts are gathered and claims are analyzed.
• Medical Oversight: Doctors on our team (Dr. Elizabeth Carter, Dr. Laura Peterson, Dr. Samuel Hayes) validate the findings and ensure they are consistent with current evidence.
• Editorial Review: The final article is checked for balance, clarity, and accuracy.

This ensures that no review is based on a single opinion but reflects collective expertise.

Step 5: Publication and Transparency

Before publishing, we verify that:

• All claims are fact-checked against reliable sources
• Risks and limitations are included alongside benefits
• Disclosures (such as affiliate partnerships or product samples) are clear

This ensures readers know exactly how the review was produced and that it remains unbiased.

Step 6: Continuous Monitoring and Updates

Our reviews do not end once they are published. We monitor:

• New clinical studies or systematic reviews
• Changes to product formulations
• FDA recalls, warnings, or regulatory updates

Whenever new information becomes available, the review is updated with a revision date so readers know they are getting the most current perspective.

Why This Matters

Supplements can impact health, but the industry is filled with unverified claims. Our review process provides structure and accountability, ensuring that every review on SupplementMag.com is rooted in research, verified by experts, and updated regularly.

By following this process, we give our readers what they deserve: reliable reviews they can trust.
