Who writes this
My name is Daniel Whitaker. I research direct-to-consumer supplements — the ones sold through long video sales letters and affiliate networks rather than through pharmacies — and I write up what the physical product actually says versus what the marketing says.
I am not a doctor, a dietitian, a pharmacist or a medical professional. I have no clinical training and I do not diagnose or treat anyone. What I do is read labels carefully, count what is printed on them, run orders through real checkouts, and read the written policies instead of the sales copy.
How an article here gets made
- Get the physical label. Not the graphic on the sales page — the Supplement Facts panel as printed on the bottle. Marketing graphics routinely differ from the printed panel.
- Count it manually. Ingredient counts published elsewhere are frequently wrong. We count line by line and publish the photograph so you can count it yourself.
- Run the checkout. Every package goes through the real order form with a US address, all the way to the final total, before any price appears here. Advertised shipping and charged shipping are often different numbers.
- Read the written policy. Guarantee terms come from the seller's returns policy page, not from the badge on the sales page.
- Say what we could not verify. When something cannot be confirmed from outside the company, the article says so plainly instead of guessing.
How this site makes money
Through affiliate commissions. When a link here goes to a product's official site and you buy, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Those links are marked and go through an affiliate network.
That creates an obvious conflict of interest, so here is how it is handled: the commission never changes a fact. The ingredient counts, the doses, the checkout totals and the criticisms on this site are what we found, and they stay in the article whether they help a sale or hurt one. You will find plenty on this site that a manufacturer would rather we left out.
What this site is not
This is not medical advice. Blood sugar is a serious clinical matter. If you have diabetes, prediabetes, or take any medication that affects blood glucose or blood pressure, the correct next step is a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist — not a supplement bought on the internet. Dietary supplements are not evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
We also do not accept payment from manufacturers for coverage, and we do not send articles to manufacturers for approval before publishing.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, it gets fixed and the article is marked as updated. Label formulations change, prices change, and policies change. Where a figure has a date attached, that is the date it was verified.
