Product Review Methodology

This policy explains how Health For Life Guide evaluates products, weight-loss programmes, apps, tools and services.

Last updated: 20 July 2026

Experience disclosure

Each review should state whether the item was purchased, supplied free, accessed through a trial or evaluated through documented product research only.

We should not imply first-hand testing when no first-hand testing occurred.

Evaluation evidence

Where relevant, reviews consider:

  • How long the product or service was used
  • Original photos, screenshots, measurements or notes
  • Ingredients, features, instructions and limitations
  • Ease of use, accessibility and customer support
  • Current price, subscription terms and refund conditions
  • What worked, what did not and who may not benefit
  • Safety warnings and evidence supporting health claims

Health claims

Testimonials and marketing statements are not treated as clinical proof. Health claims should be checked against regulators, peer-reviewed research or recognized clinical guidance.

Affiliate relationships

A review may contain affiliate links, but commission should not determine the conclusion. Relevant affiliate, sponsorship or free-product relationships must be disclosed prominently.

Ratings and comparisons

We do not add fake ratings, fabricated user reviews or schema ratings that are not supported by visible evidence. Comparisons should explain the criteria used and the date on which price or availability was checked.

Updates

Reviews may be updated when formulas, prices, ownership, features, evidence or availability change. Major factual corrections follow the Corrections Policy.
