Medical reviewer

Reviewer identity pending: the reviewer's full name (as on their degree), university and graduation year, professional photo, and bio are being confirmed with the site owner and will be published on this page before launch. Until then, no page on this site carries a medical-review stamp in the reviewer's name.

What the reviewer actually does

The reviewer does not write our articles and is never handed a blank page. For every page that carries buying recommendations, our research team first prepares a verification table: every dose, interaction, contraindication, and health claim extracted from the draft and pre-checked against two primary sources (NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheets, FDA labels and PubMed/PMC, NHS and BNF for the UK, and the EFSA register for UK/EU claim wording). The reviewer then confirms or corrects each line — fact by fact — and the page is only stamped "Medically reviewed" once every line passes.

Review order

• Money and hub pages are stamped first — they carry product recommendations.
• Informational and pair pages launch with primary-source citations and the standard medical disclaimer, then receive the stamp in batches.
• Every stamped page shows the review date in its byline; material updates reset the stamp until re-checked.

Review dates — what "last reviewed" means

On a stamped page, the byline at the top reads "Medically reviewed by" followed by the reviewer's name and the date of the last completed check, and the same block appears again at the foot of the article. That date is the day the reviewer last confirmed the page's verification table — it is not the publication date, and it is not a promise that nothing in the science has moved since. Two other dates on the page mean different things: the publication date is when the guide first went live, and an "Updated" date marks an editorial change. If an update touches a dose, an interaction, a contraindication, or a health claim, the review stamp is removed and the page returns to its cited-but-unstamped state until the reviewer re-checks the changed lines and a new review date is set. Pages that have never been stamped show no reviewer byline at all — the absence of the stamp is itself information, and we would rather show it than borrow credibility the page has not earned yet.

What review does not mean

A review stamp means the facts on the page were checked against current primary sources on the date shown. It is not medical advice for any individual reader, and it never turns a supplement into a treatment. See our editorial policy for the full sourcing and claims rules, and the medical disclaimer at the foot of every article.
