Our method

How We Review

Our job is to tell you what’s known about a product — and to be equally honest about what isn’t. Here’s exactly how that works.

The core rule: overviews, not fake reviews

The wellness industry is full of “reviews” that were never researched and products that were never touched. We take a different route:

• Every product page we publish is clearly labeled. Our current coverage type is the Product Overview: an informational summary built from publicly available information — company materials, publicly described labels, published press coverage, and verifiable company details.
• We never claim first-hand testing we didn’t do. If we ever purchase, use, or lab-test a product ourselves, that page will say so in detail: what we did, for how long, and what we paid.
• No first-person possession stories. You won’t read “I took this for 60 days and here’s my transformation” here unless it genuinely happened — and even then, we’ll say plainly that one person’s experience proves nothing about yours.

What a Product Overview covers

Each overview works through the same categories, so you can compare products without us inventing scores:

• What it is — product type, format, and how it’s taken, in the company’s own terms.
• The formula — ingredients and serving information as publicly described, including what’s disclosed and what’s hidden in a proprietary blend.
• The company — who sells it, where they’re based, and how to contact support.
• Price and terms — pricing tiers, shipping, subscription behavior if any, and money-back guarantee terms.
• Marketing vs. facts — what the sales page emphasizes, and how those statements hold up against the label and public information.
• What we couldn’t verify — the transparency notes: unnamed formulators, undisclosed doses, conflicting public prices, missing clinical evidence. We list these on purpose.
• Sources consulted — public sources we used, linked so you can check them yourself.

What we won’t do

• No scores, no stars, no false precision. A single number can’t fairly summarize a product we haven’t tested. We give you structured facts and transparent unknowns instead.
• No rankings for rent. Coverage is never sold. Affiliate relationships — should we ever enter any — will be disclosed on every affected page and will never decide what we cover or say.
• No miracle claims or disease talk. We don’t repeat hype like “melts fat” or “reverses” anything. When a company uses disease-adjacent language, we name what’s allowed on a supplement label and what isn’t.
• No fake authority. We’re not doctors and not a peer-reviewed journal. Our evidence standard is simple: cite public information, say when we can’t verify something, and never guess.

We’d rather publish “we couldn’t verify this” than fill the gap with a guess. That’s the whole method.

How we handle evidence

When ingredient classes have published research — prebiotic fibers and gut health, for instance — we’ll say so in general terms. But we’re careful about the leap: evidence for an ingredient class is not evidence for a specific finished product. Unless a company publishes testing of its own formulation, that gap stays visible in our overview.

Corrections

If we get a fact wrong — ingredients, company details, pricing — email us at hello@wellnessverdict.com. We’ll correct it and note the date of the correction on the page. We take this seriously: a review brand that won’t admit mistakes isn’t one you should trust.
