About
Who writes this, what she is qualified to do, and what she is not.
Alice Hess
I am a health researcher and wellness writer. I read labels, I read studies, and I write down what I find in language a person can use.
Here is the part most supplement sites bury: I am not a doctor, a nurse, a nutritionist, a pharmacist, or any kind of licensed clinician. I have no medical credential of any sort. Nothing I publish is a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or medical advice, and no amount of careful sourcing changes that.
What I can do is the thing that almost nobody in this category bothers to do. I can find the clinical dose a trial actually used and check it against the label. I can find the tolerable upper limit for a mineral and check it against what a formula contains. I can read a drug interaction database. I can notice when a company never names its manufacturer. That is document work, and document work is honest work when you say plainly that it is what you did.
Why prostate supplements
Because this is the category where the gap between marketing and evidence is widest, and where the buyer is least equipped to see it. The men who buy these products are usually 45 to 70, often already on prescription medication, and frequently uncomfortable discussing the symptom with anyone. That combination produces a market that rewards confident nonsense.
A large share of these purchases are also made by someone else. A wife, a daughter, a partner doing the research at the kitchen table. I write for both readers.
What I will not do
- Invent a customer testimonial, a photo, or a result I did not personally witness
- Describe an experience I did not have, including a body's response to a supplement
- Claim a supplement treats, cures, reverses or prevents a disease
- Quote a side effect rate for a product that has never been tested in a published trial
- Bury a commission relationship, or let one change a rating
