The Supplement Research Editor writes the site's product research pages and the question pages that compare ingredients.
Methodology
A product is evaluated from its own sales page and label, not from other reviews. For each product the editor records the named ingredients and any stated amounts, serving size, price tiers, guarantee terms, retailer, and every health claim made on the page. Ingredients are then matched to the site's ingredient profiles and the evidence index, so that the product's evidence status can be stated plainly: clinical evidence for the finished product, evidence for individual ingredients only, or no relevant evidence found.
Products are scored on ingredient evidence, label transparency, value and buying terms. Scores are the editor's assessment and are never presented as customer ratings; the site does not publish aggregate star ratings or testimonials.
Commercial separation
Product pages contain affiliate links, disclosed at the top of each page. Commission does not influence scores: the editor is required to state limitations, side effects, interactions and cheaper alternatives regardless of whether the product is linked. See the affiliate disclosure.
What "verified" means on a product page
A date of verification means the editor read the seller's page on that date and recorded what it said. It does not mean the product has been tested, and any fact the page did not state is marked as not disclosed.
What this role does not claim
No one writing under this role is a licensed physician, pharmacist, dietitian or nurse, and no article carries a "medically reviewed" label unless a named, verifiable clinician has personally reviewed it — see the medical review policy. Bylines identify the editorial role responsible, not an individual, so that readers are not given a false impression of clinical authority.
