This policy sets out the standards every Sarmguide page is held to. It applies to everything the Sarmguide Editorial Team publishes, and to every update of an older page.
Accuracy and sourcing
- Every factual or medical claim in new and updated text is linked to a source. Every source is opened and checked before it is cited; we never cite from memory.
- We label each source by type (trial, meta-analysis, observational, case report, animal, cell, regulator document, lab analysis, anecdotal, theoretical) and weigh it accordingly. See our methodology.
- When something is not known, we write “not established”.
Balance
- We report harms with the same care as benefits, including case reports of serious side effects and what regulators have said.
- We say who was studied. Results in older adults, cancer patients or animals are not presented as results in healthy athletes.
- We avoid hype words and promises of results.
Doses, cycles and drug tests
- We report the doses studies used, as history with a citation. We don’t write personal dosing or cycle plans in new content.
- We report detection windows from published anti-doping research. We don’t publish advice on passing or timing drug tests.
People, experiences and testimonials
- Pages are published by the Editorial Team. We don’t invent authors, credentials, doctors or reviewers.
- We don’t publish invented results, logs or testimonials.
- Some older articles were written in the first person by earlier writers. We keep those accounts as they were written, as personal reports, and we don’t present them as evidence.
Independence from partners
- Sarmguide is reader-supported. We may earn a commission from partner links (see the affiliate disclosure).
- Partners never see or approve a page before it is published, and we don’t accept payment to change a review, a ranking or a verdict.
- Claims about a shop are checked against that shop’s own public pages and dated. We don’t claim to have lab-tested a product unless the page says exactly what was tested, by whom and when.
- We don’t invent negative claims about any company.
Sponsored content
A small number of articles were sponsored by a clinic. They say so at the top of the page, and the sponsor’s links are left as published. Sponsored articles don’t carry partner product boxes.
Keeping pages current
- Each article shows its publish date, and the database shows when its data was last checked. Legal status, anti-doping rules and shop details are dated because they change.
- We update pages when the evidence changes, starting with the pages readers use most.
Corrections
Tell us about an error at info@sarmguide.com. We check it against the source, correct the page if we were wrong and add a correction note when a conclusion changes.
Not medical advice
Sarmguide is for education only. Nothing on the site is medical advice, and none of the SARMs we cover is approved for human use. Read our medical disclaimer.
