VitaminIntel is committed to accurate, evidence-based, reader-first content about vitamins, minerals, and supplements. This policy explains how our content is created, sourced, and corrected.
Our standards
- Accuracy over speed. We publish only what we can trace to an authoritative source. We do not invent claims, dosages, or citations.
- No medical diagnosis. Our articles explain causes and evidence. They never diagnose an individual, and they refer readers to qualified providers for personal health decisions.
- Red flags are explicit. Where a symptom can signal something serious, the article says so plainly and tells the reader when to see a doctor.
- Supplements are not shortcuts. We myth-check supplement marketing and emphasize testing before treating.
Sourcing
We rely on established medical organizations and the scientific literature, including the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, the American Academy of Dermatology, the National Institutes of Health, and peer-reviewed journals such as those indexed in PubMed. Each article lists its sources, and we check source URLs and content when an article is prepared.
Review and updates
Every article passes a documented quality review before publishing: sources verified, health claims qualified, disclaimers present, red flags explicit. Articles carry a review date and are revisited as guidelines and evidence evolve. Readers can request a review through the contact page.
Corrections
When an error is confirmed, we fix it promptly and, where relevant, note the correction. We take accuracy seriously and welcome being shown the evidence.
Independence and transparency
VitaminIntel currently publishes no paid placements, sponsored posts, or affiliate links. Content is not influenced by supplement companies, and we do not accept payment for coverage or links. If affiliate or advertising relationships begin, we will disclose them clearly and update this page.
AI assistance disclosure
Content is researched and drafted with AI assistance under human editorial oversight, then checked against primary sources before publication. AI is a drafting tool, not an authority: every claim must survive source verification, and no medical advice is generated for individuals.
Health disclaimer
Nothing on VitaminIntel is medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider about your health. See the medical disclaimer for details.
