How we research, write, and review.
The wellness category is full of overstated claims, recycled blog posts, and citations that do not actually say what the article says they say. We take a different approach. This page documents how Hormovance® content is researched, who reviews it, what standards we hold ourselves to, and how we correct mistakes when they happen.
Our six editorial principles
- Cite the primary literature. When we make a claim about an ingredient, we link to peer-reviewed studies indexed on PubMed / National Library of Medicine, not secondary blog posts or supplement retailer pages.
- Distinguish evidence from tradition. If a claim is anchored in traditional use rather than clinical evidence, we say so plainly with phrases like "traditionally used for" or "in classical herbalism."
- Respect the regulatory line. Hormovance® is a dietary supplement, not a drug. We do not use diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention language — even when a study uses it — because dietary supplements are not regulated as such.
- Disclose what we do not know. If the evidence is mixed, preliminary, or specific to a clinical population (e.g., a diabetes trial), we note that limitation rather than treating the study as a general endorsement.
- Acknowledge commercial intent. This site sells Hormovance®. We are not a neutral encyclopedia. We write within that constraint by holding to the five principles above.
- Update the page when the evidence updates. Content is reviewed at least every 12 months and sooner when a major new study is published in the ingredient categories we cover.
The content workflow
Every health-adjacent page on hormovanceofficial.com moves through the same four-step workflow before publication.
Sourcing
A staff researcher gathers the relevant peer-reviewed studies for each claim, prioritizing meta-analyses and systematic reviews when available, followed by randomized controlled trials, then observational research. Sources are documented in an internal bibliography that is preserved with the page.
Drafting
A staff writer drafts the page using the documented sources. Each claim is tied to a specific reference. The writer flags any claim where the evidence is preliminary, mixed, or population-specific.
Review
The draft is reviewed by our in-house editorial editor in collaboration with a licensed nutrition consultant. The reviewer checks three things: that each claim matches its cited study, that no diagnosis/treatment/cure language has slipped in, and that the page reads clearly for a non-clinical audience.
Publish & schedule re-review
The page is published with a "last reviewed" date and added to our re-review calendar (at minimum, every 12 months). Any reader correction request triggers an immediate re-review of the affected section.
Who reviews the content
Hormovance content is reviewed by a small in-house editorial team working with external licensed consultants in the following disciplines:
- · Clinical & integrative nutrition (Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, RDN)
- · Botanical & herbal medicine (master herbalist with credentialed practice experience)
- · Functional medicine (consulting MD, women's health focus)
Our consultants review the on-site content for medical accuracy and regulatory tone. They do not write copy, do not appear as paid endorsers in marketing, and are not permitted to invest in or hold equity in Hormovance Wellness, LLC. See the conflict of interest section below.
Conflicts of interest
We acknowledge openly that Hormovance Wellness, LLC sells Hormovance®. Every word on this site is written within that commercial context. To keep the editorial integrity of the health-adjacent content as defensible as possible, we apply three rules:
- · External reviewers do not hold equity in the company and are paid on a flat-fee basis, not commission.
- · Marketing copy and editorial copy are written by different teams. Editorial copy carries veto power over marketing claims that contradict the evidence.
- · Customer testimonials are clearly separated from clinical claims. Testimonials are not used to imply outcomes the formula has not been studied for.
Corrections & reader feedback
We make mistakes. When we do, we want to fix them quickly and visibly.
- How to flag a correction. Email care@hormovanceofficial.com with the page URL, the specific claim that looks wrong, and (if you can) a link to the source supporting the correction.
- Response time. We acknowledge within one business day and complete our review within five business days.
- What we do. Substantive corrections — anything that changes the meaning of a claim — are noted on the page in a "Corrections" section with the date and a brief description. Minor edits (typos, broken links) are made silently.
