Editorial Policy
How we research, write and update reviews.
Research-based reviews
Our reviews rely on publicly available sources: product pages, labels, published terms and policies, and general research on listed ingredients where it exists. Unless a review explicitly documents a genuine hands-on test, we have not personally used the product.
Claims versus evidence
We label manufacturer statements as claims. When we discuss ingredient research, we describe the type and limits of that evidence — for example, laboratory, animal or small human studies — and we don't treat research on single ingredients as proof that a finished product works.
Prices and terms
We record the prices and terms we observed and the date we checked them. Prices, shipping, bonuses and return policies can change, and the seller's checkout is always the final word. Where a seller's documents conflict, we say so.
What we never publish
- Invented testimonials, customer stories or ratings
- Fake awards, seals, press logos or star scores
- Medical claims that a supplement treats, cures or replaces medical care
Affiliate independence
We may earn commissions from some links (see our affiliate disclosure). Commissions do not buy positive coverage, and we include limitations and concerns in every review.
Corrections
If you spot an error, email fivepicksworldcontact@gmail.com. We review correction requests and update articles, including the "last reviewed" date, when a change is warranted.
