Our Medical Research Team & Editorial Standards

Everything published on SOMA HEALTH is researched, written, and reviewed by our Medical Research Team. We believe health information should be evidence-based, honestly framed, and traceable to its sources — and we hold our own content to that standard, including when we write about our own products.

Who we are

Our Medical Research Team is a group of researchers, science writers, and health-focused professionals responsible for the accuracy and integrity of the content on this site. We combine backgrounds in life sciences, nutrition, and health communication, and we share a simple conviction: that people deserve clear, trustworthy information to make their own decisions — not marketing dressed up as science.

Every educational page on SOMA HEALTH, from our complete urolithin A guide to our review of the clinical studies, carries a “reviewed by” line because a member of our team has checked it against the underlying research before publication.

Our editorial philosophy

The supplement and longevity space is crowded with exaggerated claims. We take the opposite approach. Our job is to explain what the science actually supports, to be clear about what it doesn't, and to help readers tell the difference. If the evidence for something is strong, we say so. If it's early or uncertain, we say that too. We would rather be trusted than impressive.

Our editorial standards

Evidence first

We prioritize human clinical research and peer-reviewed sources over marketing materials or single anecdotes. When we describe what an ingredient supports, we aim to ground it in the relevant research, and we link to primary sources wherever possible so readers can review the evidence directly.

Honest framing, no hype

We describe what ingredients support — not miracles they perform. We avoid language like “cure,” “reverse aging,” “miracle,” and “guaranteed,” and we take care to separate established findings from emerging or preclinical research so nothing is overstated.

Clear about limitations

Responsible science communication includes what the evidence does not show. We state limitations plainly — including, where relevant, the funding behind studies — because informed readers deserve the full picture, and trust depends on it.

Transparency about our products

SOMA HEALTH makes supplements, so some of our content references our own products. We disclose that openly, keep any comparison factual and verifiable, and hold claims about our own products to the same evidence standard as everything else we publish.

Not a substitute for medical advice

Our content is educational. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, and it is not a replacement for guidance from a qualified healthcare provider. We consistently encourage readers to consult a professional — especially if they are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a health condition.

Our review process

Every page follows the same path before it reaches you:

1. Research. We gather the relevant human trials, peer-reviewed literature, and authoritative sources on the topic.
2. Draft. A science writer turns that research into clear, accessible content — explaining the mechanisms and findings in plain language.
3. Review. A team member checks the draft against its sources for accuracy, ensures claims are appropriately measured, and confirms the framing reflects what the evidence supports.
4. Compliance check. We review language to ensure it stays within responsible, structure-and-function boundaries and avoids overstated or disease-related claims.
5. Publish & date. The page goes live with a “reviewed by” line, and where relevant a “last updated” date.
6. Maintain. We revisit content as new research emerges and update it so it stays current.

How we source information

We rely on primary research — randomized controlled trials, peer-reviewed studies, and established scientific literature — rather than secondhand summaries or promotional claims. When we cite a study, we aim to link to its original source so you can read it yourself. Our science page is an example of how we present the research behind an ingredient, with references to the original journals.

Accuracy and corrections

We take accuracy seriously, and we know no process is perfect. If you believe something we've published is inaccurate or out of date, we want to know. We review every concern raised and correct genuine errors promptly — you can reach us through our contact page.
