Editorial Policy

This policy explains how Healthana writes and reviews educational content, including the Science Hub ingredient guides and the Wellness Hub blog.

Who writes our content

Content is written by the Healthana Editorial Team. Ingredient guides are checked against the sources listed on each page and reviewed before publication. Each guide shows its last review date.

Sources we use

We rely on public, reputable sources: the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the U.S. National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements, the NHS, the World Health Organization, national food-safety authorities and peer-reviewed reviews. We link to the sources used on every guide.

Health claims

• We only use health claims authorised in the EU under Regulation (EU) No 432/2012, in their exact wording.
• A claim is shown on a product only when one serving provides at least 15% of the nutrient reference value, or meets the specific condition of that claim.
• Where no claim is authorised for an ingredient, we say so plainly.
• We never present a food supplement as a medicine or link it to any disease outcome.

Independence

Guides describe ingredients, not brands. Product suggestions on a guide are listed because they contain that ingredient; they do not change what the guide says.

Corrections and updates

We review guides when guidance changes and at least once a year. If you spot an error, contact us through our contact page and we will check it and update the page.

Not medical advice

Our content is for general information only. Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medicines or have a medical condition, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using a supplement.
