This page states plainly what Market Truth is, what it is not, and what you should not do with what you read here. It is worth two minutes because this site covers health products, and the consequences of misreading a health page are not theoretical.
Is anything on Market Truth medical advice?
No. Everything published here is general consumer information about how health products are marketed, regulated and tested, and about what the published research shows. It is not medical advice, not a diagnosis, not a treatment recommendation, and not a substitute for professional care.
Nothing here is tailored to you. It cannot account for your medical history, your diagnoses, your prescriptions, your allergies, your pregnancy, your age, your kidney or liver function, or your test results. A page that does not know those things cannot tell you what to take.
Should I change what I take because of something I read here?
No. Do not start, stop, increase, decrease, or substitute any supplement, device, medication, or treatment because of an article on this site. Take that decision to a licensed clinician who can see your history.
This applies in both directions, and the second direction gets forgotten. If Market Truth reports that the evidence for an ingredient is weak, that is not an instruction to stop taking something a doctor prescribed or recommended. Evidence being thin in the published literature and a product being wrong for you are two different questions, and only one of them can be answered by a website.
A pharmacist is an underused resource here, and usually a free one. If your question is about an interaction between a supplement and a medication, a pharmacist can answer it properly and quickly.
Is Market Truth a government agency?
No. Market Truth is a private, independent publication. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, authorised by, or acting on behalf of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Trade Commission, the National Institutes of Health, the Office of Dietary Supplements, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Pharmacopeia, NSF, or any other agency, standards body, or trade organisation.
Those organisations appear throughout this site because their published records are the source material. Their regulations, guidance documents, warning letters, fact sheets and certification databases are what a claim gets checked against. Citing a regulator is not a claim to speak for one, and no page here should be read as an official position of any agency.
Is Market Truth a doctor, a clinic, or a manufacturer?
None of the three. Erin Delaney, who writes and edits this site, is a health science journalist. She is not a physician, a pharmacist, a dietitian, or any other licensed clinician, and this site has never claimed otherwise. That is stated openly because the alternative, an invented medical review board, is a standard practice in this niche and a dishonest one.
Market Truth also does not manufacture, sell, distribute, or hold any interest in any supplement, device, or health product. It is not a retailer and it is not a telehealth service.
Is the information here guaranteed to be accurate?
No, and no publication can honestly promise that. Market Truth works from primary sources and cites them so you can check the reasoning yourself, but errors happen, and the underlying facts move. Regulatory status changes. Clearances are rescinded. Studies are retracted. Products are reformulated while keeping the same name and packaging.
Every page carries a published date and a last-reviewed date so you can judge how fresh it is. A page reviewed long ago should be treated as unverified rather than current. Corrections are published on the page itself, dated, and never made silently. If you find an error, the contact page explains how to report it.
What about the products and companies named here?
Product names, brand names and trademarks belong to their owners and are used here for identification, reporting, comment and criticism. Naming a product is not an endorsement of it, and criticising a product is a statement about the evidence available for its marketing claims at the time of writing, not an allegation about the company’s intentions.
Market Truth takes no payment, product, or copy approval from any brand it covers. The full position is set out on the disclosure page.
What about links to other websites?
Articles link out to regulator databases, journals, standards bodies and sometimes to product pages, so readers can check the evidence directly. Those sites are outside Market Truth’s control. It is not responsible for their content, their accuracy, their availability, or their privacy practices, and an outbound link is never an endorsement.
What if this is an emergency?
Do not use this site. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number, or go to an emergency department. If you suspect a poisoning or a serious reaction to a supplement or medication, contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 in the United States.
Serious problems with a supplement or a device can also be reported to the FDA through its MedWatch programme, which is how adverse events enter the record that pages like this one later rely on.
Who is responsible for decisions made after reading this site?
You are, together with your clinician. To the fullest extent the law allows, Market Truth and Erin Delaney accept no liability for any loss, injury, or damage arising from use of this site or from any decision taken on the basis of it, including decisions to buy, use, avoid, continue, or discontinue any product. The terms of service set this out in full.
