Evidence standards
Every factual claim we publish is checked against a primary source — the current product label, manufacturer documentation, regulatory records or primary research — and material facts display the date we verified them. We separate verifiable facts from interpretation and observation, we do not apply ingredient research to finished formulas as if it were proof, and we write "not stated" or "not verified" whenever that is the truth. The full scoring system lives on the methodology page.
Corrections
Accuracy matters to us. When we identify a material error, we correct it and record the change. Formula updates, price changes and minor copy edits may be updated without changing the article’s central conclusion.
| Change type | What we do |
|---|---|
| Typo or formatting | Corrected without a formal notice unless the error changed meaning. |
| Price or policy update | Checked date updated; noted if the change affects the recommendation. |
| Formula or serving change | Affected categories re-scored; change note added; conclusion re-evaluated. |
| Factual error | Corrected promptly, explained, and we state whether the verdict changed. |
| Conflict or disclosure change | Disclosure updated immediately; affected recommendations reviewed. |

Reader review guidelines
We publish reader reports on review pages. We don’t fact-check or verify individual reviewers’ claims — their opinions and experiences are their own, and we never present reader reports as evidence a product works or doesn’t. Before publishing, every submission is screened against these guidelines:
- Genuine experience only. The report must describe the submitter’s own use of the specific product. No secondhand stories, no speculation, no reviews of products not used.
- No undisclosed interests. Employees, affiliates or agents of any supplement brand — including Earth Energy — must say so. Undisclosed competitor or brand astroturfing is rejected and logged.
- No medical claims. Reports describing a product curing, treating or preventing a condition are edited to remove the claim or rejected.
- Civility. No abuse, no personal attacks, no doxxing.
- Negative reports are published. A qualifying report is published whether it praises or criticizes a product — including Earth Energy products. We never suppress qualifying criticism of our own brand, and we never pay for reviews.
"Verified purchase" labels appear only when the reviewer has shown us proof of purchase. We keep records of what was published, what was rejected and why. To flag a published report you believe breaches these guidelines, contact us.
Commercial independence
Scores, rankings and verdicts are editorial decisions made under the published methodology. Advertisers, affiliate partners and reviewed companies do not see conclusions before publication and cannot approve them. Our ownership relationship with Earth Energy Supplements is disclosed near every recommendation it could touch — see how we make money.
Content refresh schedule
Prices and availability are re-checked monthly on active pages; subscription terms and return policies quarterly; labels and formula amounts at least every six months. Formula changes, recalls, FDA or FTC actions, lawsuits and material price changes trigger immediate updates. Every page shows its published and updated dates.
