Editorial Standards
Our standards exist to make NutriState content trustworthy and useful — not just compliant. Here is exactly how we research, write, and review every article.
Content Standards
Every article starts with research, not conclusions. Our writing process follows evidence before editorial framing.
- ✓All claims are linked to the primary source (study, meta-analysis, or systematic review)
- ✓Evidence level is classified per article: high, moderate, or emerging
- ✓Author credentials and expertise areas are disclosed on every article
- ✓Published and last-updated dates are visible on every article
- ✓Medical disclaimers appear on all health-adjacent content
- ✓All health claims follow FDA/FTC guidelines — no disease or cure claims
Our Review Process
Research
Author reviews peer-reviewed literature (PubMed, CrossRef, Google Scholar) relevant to the topic before writing.
Draft
Content is structured around evidence, not marketing angles. Key claims are linked to primary sources during drafting.
Expert Review
Higher-stakes nutrition and health content is reviewed by a qualified professional where applicable. Reviewer credit appears on reviewed articles.
Fact-check
Claims are verified against original sources. Ambiguous or contradicted findings are disclosed rather than omitted.
Publication
Articles publish with full citations, author credit, reviewer credit, and evidence level classification.
Updates
Articles are updated when new research changes the picture. Updates are dated and noted in the article.
Expert Review Panel
Higher-stakes health and nutrition content is reviewed by qualified professionals before publication. Reviewer name and credentials appear in the header of reviewed articles.
Product Reviews
Our reviews are evidence-based and independent. When reviewing products, we evaluate:
- Ingredient profile against clinical evidence for each ingredient
- Dose accuracy — whether the product delivers clinically relevant amounts
- Label transparency — full ingredient disclosure, no proprietary blends where relevant
- Third-party testing status (NSF, USP, Informed-Sport) where verifiable
- Price relative to effective dose, not to brand premium
Health Claim Standards
We follow FDA/FTC guidelines on all health-adjacent content.
✓ Permitted language: "May support muscle recovery," "associated with improved power output," "evidence suggests benefits for…"
✗ Not permitted: Disease claims, cure or treatment claims, guaranteed outcome claims — none appear on this site.
Corrections Policy
Errors are corrected promptly. When a factual error is found, we update the article, add a correction note, and re-date the content. We do not silently edit incorrect claims.
