Criterion Health reviews weight-management and wellness products by separating what a product states from what the research can actually establish. This page explains how we work, how we are funded, and where our independence ends.

Each product begins with the manufacturer's stated ingredients, dosages, and claims. We then trace those claims to peer-reviewed literature, note where evidence is limited or absent, and verify pricing and availability before publication. Reviews are revisited when labels or research change.

Our writers do not accept payment for favorable coverage, and we do not publish testimonials we cannot verify. Where a claim rests on a single small study or on manufacturer data alone, we say so plainly.

These principles govern every review, ranking, and article we publish.

Claims are checked against primary studies and regulatory information. Sources are cited so readers can review them directly.

Affiliate links may earn us a commission. Compensation never determines rankings, and every page that contains links carries a clear disclosure.

We avoid guaranteed outcomes, miracle language, and before-and-after promises. Our goal is accurate information, not persuasion.
