Editorial Policy

How Sound Support Guide separates merchant claims, medical evidence, product facts and affiliate monetization.

Evidence hierarchy

For medical and regulatory context, we prioritize government health agencies, systematic reviews and clearly identified product materials. Merchant pages are used to establish what a product currently claims, contains or costs—not to prove that the claims are true.

Manufacturer claims vs independent evidence

We explicitly label product claims as manufacturer or merchant statements when they are not independently established. Ingredient rationale is not treated as proof that the finished formula works.

No fake personal experience

We do not claim to have used a supplement unless that experience has actually occurred and can be documented. This version of the site makes no firsthand-use claim.

Pricing updates

Direct-response supplement pricing changes. Pages that mention current pricing include a review date and instruct readers to confirm the live checkout.

Affiliate monetization

Affiliate relationships can create incentives. We disclose them and keep them separate from the evidence standard used to describe health claims.
