Editorial Policy
Our standards of integrity, scientific verification, and editorial independence.
1. Accuracy and Verification
At Cedar Journal, accuracy is our highest priority. Our editorial team investigates health and nutrition claims by going directly to original research papers and medical reports. We do not rely on second-hand information or sensationalist news reports.
Each health claim made within our articles is cross-referenced with a numbered footnote linking directly to the respective peer-reviewed scientific paper, clinical trial registration, or epidemiological database (such as PubMed, MEDLINE, or ClinicalTrials.gov).
2. Medical Review Board
Articles addressing medical compounds, clinical protocols, dosages, or side effects undergo review by our Medical Review Board. This board is comprised of qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists, and nutritional researchers who check the clinical validity of the written content before it is scheduled for publication.
3. Independence and Bias Prevention
We maintain strict independence from the brands and products we review:
- No Sponsored Articles: We do not accept payment to write positive reviews or promotional articles.
- Dosage and Efficacy-Based Evaluations: Our product reviews evaluate ingredients against clinical trial dosages. If a product contains sub-therapeutic levels of an ingredient, we state this clearly.
- Separate Teams: Our editorial researchers do not participate in commercial discussions or affiliate partner management.
4. Review Vetting Criteria
Safety First
We highlight warnings, drug interactions, and potential gastric side effects.
Bioavailability
We focus on mineral chelation, salt forms, and absorption mechanics in the gut.
Regular Updates
When new clinical guidelines are published, we update our articles to reflect the latest consensus.
