Editorial policy
How we pick sources, check numbers, handle reviews and fix mistakes.
Sources we trust, in order
- Health Canada: the Drug Product Database, product monographs, Notices of Compliance, advisories and recalls.
- Peer-reviewed journals: the trial paper itself (NEJM, The Lancet, JAMA, Nature Medicine and others), not a summary of it.
- Regulators in other countries, such as the US FDA, for drugs not yet sold here.
- Reputable Canadian news outlets.
- Company press releases, labelled "[press release]" every time we cite one.
The Peptides for Weight Loss editorial team applies these rules to every page. We do not cite clinics, peptide sellers, forums or other sites that compete with us for the same searches.
Numbers
Trial results, prices, timing and Health Canada status live in one data file that every page reads from, so a number is changed in one place and cannot drift between pages. When a trial reports more than one figure, we use the journal's figure, name the trial, the dose and the length, and show the placebo result beside it.
Pharmacist review
Pages about side effects, doses or comparisons between drugs need a review by a licensed Canadian pharmacist. We record a review only after it has happened, with the reviewer's name, credential and the date. Until then the page says "Pharmacist review pending" and its structured data carries no reviewer.
Referral fees
Some links to licensed pharmacies and online clinics may pay us a fee if you sign up. Those links are marked as sponsored in the page code. A fee never changes a grade, a ranking or the order of a table.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it, change the page's updated date, and note what changed at the bottom of the page when the error was about a fact.
