Editorial Policy & Review Process
Who is accountable for this content, where the data comes from, and how it is checked.
Who is accountable
SupStack is built and edited by Dr. Baher Al Hakim, a dentist and digital-health technologist who has worked in health technology for more than 10 years, with a focus on longevity research and supplements. He is the accountable editor for everything published on this site.
Where the data comes from
Every supplement entry is built from peer-reviewed research indexed in PubMed. Cited studies are linked by PMID or DOI so you can verify them at the source. Evidence scores are computed from study count, study quality, effect sizes, and consistency — the full scoring system, including which studies qualify for citation, is documented on the methodology page.
How content is produced
Entries are drafted with AI assistance against structured study data, then pass automated validation — PMID existence checks, consistency checks between evidence scores and study findings, and safety-rating plausibility checks — before publication.
Drafting tools accelerate the work; they do not decide what gets published. Every entry is human-reviewed before it goes live, and the automated pipeline flags inconsistencies for editorial correction on an ongoing basis.
Review and updates
Each supplement entry carries a "last reviewed" date, shown on the page itself. Corpus-wide audit rounds re-verify dosages, safety information, and interaction data. New studies are discovered daily from PubMed, classified for relevance, and added to the research library.
Independence
SupStack is free to use. There are no affiliate links, no sponsored content, and no supplement sales. Nobody pays to influence a score, a ranking, or a recommendation.
Limitations and corrections
SupStack is for informational purposes and is not medical advice. Supplement research changes, individual circumstances differ, and you should consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplement.
Found an error? Email hello@supstack.me and we will review it. Confirmed corrections are applied to the live entry and reflected in its last-reviewed date.
