About Men’s Health Authority
Men’s Health Authority is an independent men’s health publication. Our research team writes and reviews all content on this site. We are not a pharmaceutical company, a supplement manufacturer, or a retailer. Our only obligation is to the men who read our work.
These guidelines govern every piece of content published on this site. They are not aspirational — they describe how we actually operate every day.
Original Research and Writing
Every article published on Men’s Health Authority is written from original research. We do not republish, reword, or aggregate content from other websites. Our researchers review primary sources — peer-reviewed journal articles, clinical studies, government health databases, and academic literature — and synthesise findings in their own words.
We do not use content mills or AI-generated text without expert review. All content reflects the genuine analysis and professional judgment of our research team.
Where We Get Our Information
📚 PubMed & NIH
Our primary research database. We trace every factual claim to a peer-reviewed study indexed in the National Library of Medicine where possible.
🏭 CDC & FDA
Government health agencies provide authoritative guidance on supplement safety, manufacturing standards, and public health data.
📄 Peer-Reviewed Journals
We reference indexed scientific journals including the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and other MEDLINE-indexed publications.
🚫 What We Do Not Use
We do not cite manufacturer white papers, brand websites, or non-peer-reviewed industry publications as primary evidence for health claims.
How Affiliate Relationships Work
Men’s Health Authority earns revenue through affiliate marketing. When you purchase a product through a link on our site, we may earn a commission. This financial relationship is disclosed on every page of this site and explained in full on our Affiliate Disclosure page.
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, our product ratings, our review conclusions, or our decisions about which products to cover. We cover products that are relevant to our readers’ health questions — not products that pay us to cover them.
Updates and Corrections
Men’s health research evolves. We review and update our most-read articles regularly — at minimum annually, and more frequently when significant new research is published. Each article carries a “Last Updated” date reflecting the most recent substantive review.
If you identify an error, outdated information, or a broken citation in any of our content, please report it to corrections@menshealthauthority.com. We investigate all reported errors and publish corrections promptly when warranted.
Medical Disclaimer
Content on Men’s Health Authority is for informational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before beginning any supplement, diet, or exercise programme — particularly if you have a pre-existing medical condition or take prescription medications.
