Editorial Policy

Synptide exists to make health evidence clearer, not louder. Our editorial standard is simple to state and hard to meet: a reader should leave every page knowing what is actually established, what is merely promising, and what is unknown — with the sources to check us.

What we publish

• Compound profiles — canonical, evidence-graded pages, one per compound.
• Comparisons — structured head-to-heads that keep regulatory and dose context intact.
• Articles and guides — focused explainers that link back to the canonical entities.
• Research updates — a public log of what changed in the evidence.
• Tools — calculators that show their formula, assumptions, and limits.

The publishing bar for evidence-sensitive pages

We do not publish an evidence-sensitive page unless:

• Every load-bearing claim is linked to a credible source.
• Regulatory status is verified against the primary regulator.
• Human and preclinical findings are clearly separated.
• Dose language is classified, never merged into one figure.
• Conflicts and funding are disclosed where they matter.
• The page has a defined review and update schedule.

Our voice

No hype, no fear, no "one weird trick." We use calm, plain language; we state uncertainty instead of hiding it; and we would rather publish "the evidence is thin" than manufacture confidence that isn't there. We never present a calculated number, a studied dose, or an anecdote as a recommendation.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made independently of any commercial relationship. Where a page touches something we could profit from, we disclose it — see ourconflict-of-interest policy. How we source data is described in data sources, how we grade it in ourmethodology, and how we fix mistakes in ourcorrections policy.

Not medical advice

Everything we publish is educational and is not a substitute for a consultation with a qualified clinician. See themedical disclaimer.
