Editorial Policy
Everything published on the Nutritions Lab site — product pages, collection pages and the article library — follows the standards on this page. We publish it so you can judge our content rather than take it on trust.
Who writes this
Content is researched and written in-house and published under the responsibility of Daniel, founder of Nutritions Lab. We are a retailer, not a clinical practice.
We are not doctors, pharmacists, dietitians or dermatologists. Nothing on this site is medical advice, and none of it is a substitute for a consultation with a qualified professional who knows your history.
How we handle evidence
We separate mechanism from proof
"Copper peptides are signalling molecules studied in wound healing" is a mechanism. "Copper peptides will reduce your wrinkles" is a claim we have not earned. We try to keep that line visible in everything we write.
We state uncertainty plainly
Where evidence is limited, contested or extrapolated from animal studies, we say so. Several of our own product pages carry sentences that make the product sound less impressive, because that is what the evidence supports.
We do not launder marketing through articles
Our articles link to our products where relevant, and we are a shop — there is a commercial interest and we are not hiding it. What we will not do is write an article whose conclusion was decided by what we want to sell. Our article on soursop is the clearest example: the honest answer reduces the appeal of a product we stock, and we published it anyway.
Health claims and Australian law
Supplements sold in Australia sit under the Therapeutic Goods Administration, and advertising them is subject to the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code. We do not claim any product diagnoses, treats, cures or prevents disease.
We also aim to comply with Australian Consumer Law on misleading and deceptive conduct — which, in this industry, mostly means not implying results we cannot support.
Corrections
If we publish something inaccurate, we correct it. If the correction is material, we will note it rather than quietly edit. Report an error via our contact page.
When to see a professional instead
Persistent symptoms deserve a diagnosis, not a supplement. Please see a qualified professional for: persistent or scarring acne, ongoing insomnia, unexplained fatigue, eye pain or vision changes, any symptom in a child, and before starting any supplement alongside prescription medication, during pregnancy or while nursing.
