Editorial standard
How we write
Ingredient marketing is full of claims with nothing behind them. We hold this section to a different standard, because our customers' regulatory teams will read it.
- Every factual claim is cited to a named source
- Peer-reviewed literature is preferred over secondary reporting
- Effect sizes and confidence intervals are given, not just conclusions
- Where evidence is weak or contested, we say so
- We do not present class-level research as substantiation for a product
- Corrections are made visibly, not quietly
