How we review our pages

Every page is researched and written by the Healthy and Herbal editorial team from numbered sources, then reviewed and signed off by our editors before it loses its draft label.

How a page gets reviewed

1. An editor researches the entry, citing each claim to a systematic review, regulator monograph or trial they have read.
2. Every citation is checked automatically against PubMed or the source's own page before publication.
3. An editor reviews the page against its sources and the rating rules, then signs it off or sends it back. The date of sign-off appears on the page.
4. If a signed-off page is edited, the sign-off lapses and the page shows as a draft until it is reviewed again.

What review is, and isn't

Review checks that each page says what its sources say, rates the evidence by our published rules, and flags the safety points that matter. It is an editorial review, not a medical consultation: our pages are general information and can't take account of your health, your medicines or your history. Please use them to prepare questions for a pharmacist or doctor, not instead of one.
