Terms of Service

By accessing or using Alternative Health (alternativehealth.vercel.app), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

We may update these terms at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

Nothing on this platform constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. All content is provided for informational and educational purposes only.

Lab data, research summaries, product rankings, contaminant information, protocols, and any other content on this platform are not substitutes for professional medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before making health decisions.

We present data from third-party sources. We do not practice medicine, prescribe treatments, or make clinical recommendations. The presence of a product or therapy on this platform does not imply endorsement of its medical efficacy.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure data accuracy. Product data is extracted from third-party Certificates of Analysis (COAs) issued by accredited laboratories. Research data is sourced from PubMed. Tap water data comes from the EPA, EWG, and UCMR5 monitoring programs.

Despite our efforts, we do not guarantee that any information on this platform is complete, current, or error-free. Lab results reflect a specific sample at a specific point in time. Product formulations change. Studies are updated or retracted. Regulatory data is revised.

If you find an error, report it at github.com/christiancattaneo/alternativehealth/issues. We will investigate and correct verified errors promptly.

Some links to external product websites contain affiliate tracking parameters. If you purchase a product through an affiliate link, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships never influence product rankings, data presentation, verification methodology, or editorial decisions. Rankings are derived from verified lab data. If you believe commercial incentives have compromised data integrity, report it immediately via GitHub Issues.

We clearly disclose affiliate relationships on pages containing outbound purchase links. See our About page for a full explanation of our revenue model.

The platform's code is open source and available at github.com/christiancattaneo/alternativehealth under its repository license.
