Standards

Editorial policy.

The supplement industry buys plenty of coverage. We do not sell ours.

Independence

Supplement Skeptic does not accept paid reviews, sponsored placements, or editorial input from any brand we cover. The Skeptic Desk chooses what to review based on reader interest and category relevance — not on which product pays the most.

Purchase-link independence

Some links on this site may compensate us when a reader makes a purchase. Reviews are assigned, researched, scored, and edited independently from that compensation. Payment potential does not determine product selection, rating, or wording.

Corrections

If we're wrong, we fix it — visibly. Corrections are appended to the top of the article with the date and a description of what changed. We do not silently edit published material.

Medical review

Reviews labeled Medically reviewed have been read by a licensed clinician listed in the byline. Reviews labeled Evidence review are written by research analysts and cite published sources but are not clinical advice. The sitewide medical, editorial, and affiliate disclaimer applies to every page.
