Every review on HealthMag Review follows the same process and is scored against the same criteria, which we set before looking at any individual product. This keeps comparisons fair and stops a commission from deciding the outcome.
Our scoring criteria
| Criterion | Weight | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredient evidence | 30% | Quality of published human research on each key ingredient, at the dose actually used |
| Label transparency | 20% | Full ingredient list with doses, no hidden proprietary blends |
| Safety | 20% | Known side effects, interactions, regulator warnings, third-party testing |
| Value | 15% | Price per day compared with buying the same ingredients separately |
| Company and refund terms | 15% | Clear contact details, honest marketing, and refund policies that work in practice |
Our process
- Label review. We record every ingredient and dose from the official label.
- Evidence check. We look for human studies on each ingredient in sources such as PubMed, the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements and Cochrane reviews.
- Safety check. We search FDA, TGA, MHRA and Health Canada warnings and recall databases.
- Company check. We read the full terms, refund policy and subscription conditions.
- Complaint check. We look for genuine customer complaints on independent platforms.
- Score and verdict. We score the product against the criteria above and write a plain-English verdict, including who should avoid it.
What we will not do
- Claim a supplement treats, cures or prevents any disease
- Publish fake testimonials or invented expert credentials
- Change a score because of a commission
