How we research, write, and review

1. Plain-English, evidence-first

Every article is written to be understood by a curious non-specialist. We define or drop jargon, explain mechanisms with original illustrations, and lead with what the evidence actually supports — not with what would be most exciting to claim.

2. We rate the strength of evidence

Key findings carry an evidence grade so you always know how solid the ground is:

• Emerging — early or preliminary: small studies, lab models, or single findings that still need replication.
• Moderate — reasonably supported by human research, though not fully settled.
• Strong — well-established science with broad agreement across the literature.

We distinguish carefully between association and causation, and we say plainly when something is popular but unproven.

3. We cite our sources

Substantive claims are backed by peer-reviewed research, listed in a references section at the foot of each article. Where possible we favor reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized trials over single small studies, and we note the study type.

4. We review for clarity and evidence standards

Before publication, each article is checked against these standards for accuracy of interpretation, fair representation of the evidence, and clarity of language. Articles carry the line “Reviewed for clarity and evidence standards.” The Glutathione Hub is an educational resource and is not a substitute for professional medical advice; when an article has been reviewed by a licensed clinician, we will name that reviewer explicitly.

5. We update when the science changes

Science evolves. Each article shows a “last updated” date, and we revise content when meaningful new evidence emerges rather than leaving outdated claims in place.

6. Independence & transparency

The Hub is an educational resource, not a storefront. Our editorial content is kept independent of any product. The one supplement the founder personally uses is disclosed in a single, clearly-labeled place and never woven through the educational material. You can read that disclosure on the About the Glutathione Guy page.

7. Not medical advice

Everything here is for education only. It cannot account for your individual circumstances and is not a diagnosis or treatment plan. Always consult a qualified professional before making health decisions.
