This page explains the process behind every JointVive page on this site.
Research Workflow
- Capture the current seller page, label and terms
- List every claim the seller makes
- Find the best available evidence for each claim
- Rate evidence distance
- Write conclusions no stronger than the evidence
- Recheck commercial facts before each update
Source Hierarchy for Scientific Claims
- Systematic reviews and clinical guidelines
- Randomized controlled trials
- Observational human studies
- Animal and laboratory studies
- Expert opinion and media reports
Claim Tags
We internally tag statements as verified fact, seller claim, ingredient evidence, product evidence or opinion, so they are not blended together in the text.
Evidence Escalation Audit
Before publishing, we check every sentence for “evidence escalation”—where ingredient or animal data is described as if it proved the product works.
Zero-Trust Review
Seller statements, ratings and testimonials are treated as claims until independently verified, regardless of how official the page looks.
Sources & References
We prioritize primary product information, regulatory sources, peer-reviewed research and recognized clinical guidance. Seller claims are not treated as independent clinical evidence.
