About this site
This site is researched and written by one person. This page explains who that is, how products are researched, how the site makes money, and what it is not qualified to tell you.

Who runs this site
This website is written and operated by Samuel, working independently. There is no company, agency or newsroom behind it — one person researches the products, writes the pages and maintains the site.
Samuel is currently studying toward a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD). That background is the reason this site pays close attention to what a supplement label does and does not disclose, to dose transparency, and to interactions with prescription medicines. It is important to be equally clear about what it is not: Samuel is not a licensed pharmacist and is not a practising healthcare professional. Nothing published here is medical advice, and no page on this site should be used in place of a conversation with the clinician who manages your care.
The short version
An independent, one-person research site funded by affiliate commissions. It reads labels and published literature, states plainly what it could not verify, and publishes no ratings or testimonials because none could be checked. It is not medical advice.
Why this site exists
Supplement marketing and supplement evidence are two different bodies of information, and they are rarely presented side by side. A sales page will tell you what a product is claimed to do. A PubMed abstract will tell you what happened when researchers gave a specific dose of a single compound to a specific group of people. Neither one, on its own, answers the question a buyer actually has.
The purpose of this site is to hold those two things next to each other and mark clearly where one ends and the other begins — including the gap in the middle, which is usually the most useful part.
How the research is done
The method is written out in full on the editorial and review policy page. In summary:
- Product facts come from the product. Ingredients, serving counts, formats, prices, shipping charges and refund windows are recorded from packaging images and official seller materials, not from other review sites.
- Manufacturer claims are labelled as manufacturer claims. Phrases such as “the seller states” and “marketed as” are used deliberately, so a marketing claim is never presented as a finding.
- Evidence is cited so you can open it. Research references link directly to PubMed, the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, NCCIH, MedlinePlus or the Cochrane Library.
- Unverifiable facts are reported as unverifiable. Where a Supplement Facts panel could not be read, this site says the amounts are unpublished rather than repeating figures found elsewhere.
- No laboratory testing is claimed. This site does not run assays or clinical analysis. It has no such capability and does not pretend otherwise.
What you will not find here
No star ratings
No page on this site carries a numeric score or an aggregate rating, because there is no genuine pool of verified user ratings behind one. An invented score would be more precise than the underlying information.
No testimonials
No customer quotes or before-and-after stories are published, because none could be traced to a verifiable person.
No disease claims
Supplements covered here are not presented as treatments for erectile dysfunction, diabetes, hearing loss, cognitive decline or any other condition.
No hidden commercial ties
Affiliate links are marked, and one product in the directory is operated by the same team as this site. That relationship is stated on the page rather than glossed over.
How this site is funded
This site earns affiliate commissions. When a reader buys a product through a link here, the operator may receive a commission from the seller at no extra cost to the reader. That is the site’s only revenue.
A commission-funded review site has an obvious incentive problem, and the honest response is to name it rather than deny it. The safeguards used here are set out in the affiliate disclosure: commercial links are tagged rel="sponsored", limitations are published alongside benefits, and the one product with a common-ownership relationship is disclosed explicitly instead of being presented as arm’s-length coverage.
Keeping pages current
Prices, package options and refund windows change without notice, and this site treats them as snapshots rather than settled facts — every commercial page tells readers to confirm the current figures at the official checkout before ordering. Pages carry a last-updated date, and the corrections process explains what happens when something is found to be wrong.
Contact
Corrections, questions and factual challenges are welcome, and a correction request is treated as useful rather than adversarial. Write to contact@nittricboost.com or use the contact page.
