Disclaimer & Affiliate Policy

Nothing on Evidence First Wellness should be interpreted as a substitute for professional medical advice. The information provided — including articles, supplement evaluations, comparisons, and frameworks — is intended to help readers understand evidence and make more informed decisions, not to replace the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.

Always consult your doctor, pharmacist, or other qualified health provider before starting, stopping, or changing any supplement, medication, or health regimen. If you have a medical condition or are pregnant, nursing, or taking prescription medications, this is especially important.

• This site does not diagnose or treat any condition
• Individual responses to supplements vary and cannot be predicted
• Evidence discussed on this site reflects the state of research at time of writing and may not reflect current guidance
• No content on this site should be used to delay or disregard professional medical advice

Evidence First Wellness participates in affiliate programs. This means that some links on this site are affiliate links — if you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

This disclosure is made in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising, as set out in 16 CFR Part 255.

Where affiliate links appear within a specific article or comparison, they are disclosed at the top of that page in addition to this general disclosure. If a product is discussed without an affiliate link, that is because no affiliate arrangement exists for that product — not because it was deprioritized.

All product evaluations and supplement comparisons on this site are conducted using a structured, evidence-first framework. Products are not selected for review because of commercial relationships, sponsorship, or affiliate potential — they are selected based on relevance, reader questions, and evidence availability.

The evaluation criteria applied to all products include:

This framework is adapted from quality systems methodology used in regulated product development. It is applied consistently across all evaluations, regardless of whether an affiliate link exists for the product.

All content on Evidence First Wellness reflects the independent evaluation and professional judgment of the site author. No third party — including brands, manufacturers, affiliate networks, or advertisers — has any editorial input into the content published on this site.

• No brand or manufacturer has reviewed or approved any article, comparison, or evaluation before publication
• Products are not given preferential coverage in exchange for samples, compensation, or affiliate arrangements
• Negative or mixed evaluations are published using the same criteria as positive ones
• If our evaluation of a product changes based on new evidence, we will update the content accordingly

We make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of content on this site at the time of publication. However, the supplement and wellness research landscape evolves continuously, and content may not always reflect the most current evidence or regulatory guidance.

• Articles reflect the state of evidence at the time of writing and may become outdated
• We do not represent that all information on this site is complete, current, or error-free
• Product formulations change over time — always verify current label information before purchasing
• Regulatory status of supplements varies by country — content is written primarily with a US context in mind

If you identify an error or outdated information, please contact us and we will review and update the content as appropriate.

If this policy changes in the future, any sponsored content will be clearly labelled as such at the top of the relevant page, in compliance with FTC guidelines. Sponsored content, if introduced, will still be subject to the same evaluation standards applied to all other content on this site.

No content on this site guarantees any particular health outcome, supplement effect, or result. Individual responses to supplements and wellness interventions vary based on factors including genetics, health status, diet, lifestyle, and concurrent medications.

Evidence discussed on this site describes population-level findings from research studies. These findings may not apply to every individual. A supplement that is well-supported by evidence for a specific population or condition may not be appropriate or effective for you personally.

This is precisely why this site emphasizes decision frameworks over product recommendations — the goal is to help you evaluate whether something is worth exploring for your situation, not to prescribe a universal answer.
