Our Evaluation Methodology
This methodology describes how Pharmacy RX One Online evaluates supplement and wellness products before they appear in review pages. It is an editorial framework, not a laboratory-testing program or a substitute for medical advice.
Editorial Weighting
| Criterion | Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredients & Dosages | 30% | Alignment with clinically studied dosages |
| Ingredient Quality | 25% | Form, bioavailability, extract standardization |
| Safety | 20% | Contraindications, side effects, certifications (GMP, NSF) |
| Value for Money | 15% | Cost per serving vs. comparable products |
| Manufacturer Transparency | 10% | COA availability, lab reports, contact info |
What We Review
- Product labels, ingredients, dosage format, and serving instructions
- Public manufacturer information and visible commercial claims
- Price and offer framing at the time of review
- Safety notes, contraindications, and public regulatory context where available
- Public feedback patterns used only as secondary context
Data Sources
- PubMed – peer-reviewed clinical studies
- NIH Office of Dietary Supplements – reference data
- FDA – warnings and product recalls
- ConsumerLab, Labdoor – independent lab testing
- User reviews – aggregated from verified platforms
How A Page Is Built
- Source collection from product materials and public references
- Editorial assessment of formula, claims, and positioning
- Price and merchant-transparency check
- Safety-context pass when dosage, warnings, or interactions matter
- Publication with attribution and later updates when material facts change
What This Process Does NOT Mean
- It does not mean we personally test every product
- It does not mean every page is line-by-line reviewed by a licensed clinician
- It does not mean we verify outcomes for every buyer
- It does not replace diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice
