These Terms of Use govern access to and use of HealthDataConsortium.org (“the publication,” “this site”). By accessing or using this site, the visitor agrees to be bound by these terms. Visitors who do not agree should not use this site.
Informational Use Only
All content on HealthDataConsortium.org is provided for informational and educational purposes only. The publication produces structured editorial analysis of dietary supplements, telehealth platforms, wellness protocols, and related health products. Nothing on this site constitutes medical advice, clinical guidance, diagnosis, treatment, or a recommendation to use or discontinue any specific product, medication, or therapy.
Health decisions should be made in consultation with a qualified healthcare provider who can evaluate the visitor's individual medical history, current medications, and clinical circumstances. No content on this site is intended to substitute for professional medical, pharmaceutical, nutritional, or psychological guidance.
No Professional Relationship
Use of this site does not create a physician-patient, pharmacist-patient, nutritionist-client, or any other professional relationship between the visitor and the publication or its analysts. The analysts contributing to this publication are health researchers, not licensed healthcare practitioners. Communications with the publication through the contact form or any other channel do not constitute professional consultation.
Accuracy and Currency
The publication makes reasonable efforts to ensure published analyses reflect accurate information at the time of publication and most recent revision. However, the publication does not warrant that all content is accurate, complete, current, or error-free.
Pricing, product formulations, regulatory status, clinical evidence, and platform policies change over time. Information that was accurate at publication may become outdated. Visitors should verify pricing, ingredients, terms, and other material details directly with manufacturers, platforms, or regulatory authorities before making purchase or health decisions.
If a visitor identifies a factual error or outdated information, the publication welcomes corrections submitted through the Contact page.
Paid Link Relationships
Some links on this site are paid links. When a visitor clicks a paid link and completes a qualifying purchase on a third-party website, the publication may receive a commission at no additional cost to the visitor. The existence of paid link relationships is disclosed in the attribution block at the end of each applicable analysis and in detail on the Methodology & Disclosures page.
Paid link relationships do not influence the publication's analytical conclusions, framework scoring, or comparative assessments. The publication retains full editorial independence over all published content.
Purchases made through paid links are transactions between the visitor and the third-party merchant. The publication is not a party to those transactions and bears no responsibility for the products, services, fulfillment, customer service, refunds, warranties, or any other aspect of the merchant relationship.
External Links
This site contains links to third-party websites for reference, citation, and paid link purposes. The publication does not control these external sites and is not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or terms of service. Inclusion of an external link does not constitute endorsement of the linked site, its operator, or its products.
Intellectual Property
Content published on HealthDataConsortium.org — including analyses, evaluation frameworks, written commentary, and original graphics — is the property of the publication and is protected by United States and international copyright laws.
Visitors may view and share links to published content for personal, non-commercial purposes. Visitors may quote brief excerpts of analyses with proper attribution to HealthDataConsortium.org and a link to the original source. Wholesale reproduction, republication, scraping, training of AI models on site content, or commercial use without prior written permission is prohibited.
Product names, brand names, trademarks, and service marks referenced in published analyses are the property of their respective owners. Reference to these marks is made under nominative fair use for editorial purposes and does not imply affiliation with or endorsement by the trademark holders.
User Submissions
Communications submitted to the publication through the contact form (including questions, corrections, suggestions, and partnership inquiries) become the property of the publication for purposes of responding and improving the site. The publication will not publish a visitor's name, contact information, or message content publicly without explicit consent, except where required by law.
