About Active Health Guide
Active Health Guide is an independent consumer-research publication. We review dietary supplements sold online to adults over 50 — hearing, blood sugar, nerve, vision, prostate and memory formulas — and we report what the label, the checkout page and the published research actually say.
What we are, plainly
We are a small editorial team, not a medical practice. No one here is a physician, a pharmacist or a licensed clinician, and we never present ourselves as one. What we do is read primary sources carefully and write down what we find — including what we could not find.
We are not affiliated with any manufacturer. No brand pays to appear on this site, no brand reads a review before it is published, and no brand can have one changed or removed.
What we do — and what we do not do
We do not take the products. That sentence appears in the methodology table of every review we publish, because a reader deserves to know it before reading a single conclusion. We are not reporting a personal experience. We are reporting a documentary one.
Every review is built from sources you can open and check yourself:
- The label. The full supplement facts panel, ingredient by ingredient, from the best public source available — and we tell you which source it was, and whether we could cross-check it against a photograph.
- The real checkout. We follow the official order flow all the way to the payment page, so we can name the retailer, the charge descriptor that will appear on your statement, and the price on the day we looked.
- The refund fine print. The complete return, shipping and contact pages — the window, who pays return shipping, whether an RMA is required, and any place where the seller contradicts itself.
- The published research. We search PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov for the finished formula, not only for its individual ingredients, and we say plainly when nothing exists.
- Independent complaint records. Trustpilot, the Better Business Bureau, Reddit and condition-specific forums — and how many reviews are actually there, not just the average score.
The three labels we use
Every line of our methodology table carries one of three tags, so you always know how solid a given fact is.
| Label | What it means |
|---|---|
| Verified | We read it ourselves at the primary source, and we give the date we read it. |
| Judgment call | The evidence is incomplete or points both ways. We show you the evidence and tell you it is our reading. |
| Not published | We looked for it and it does not exist publicly. An absence we found is itself a finding. |
How our scores work
Our score is an editorial judgment and it is ours alone. We never reuse the star ratings a brand displays on its own sales page: in almost every case we could find no independent source behind them, and we say so on the page.
We also do not publish an aggregate customer rating we did not collect. If we have no verified body of customer ratings, we show none.
How we are funded
This site is funded by affiliate commissions. When you buy through a link on one of our reviews, the retailer may pay us a commission. The price you pay is exactly the same.
The commission is identical whether we score a product high or low, so nothing about our income depends on being positive. The published record is the evidence:
- We scored ProstAfense 3.8 and published the $169 monthly subscription buried in its funnel.
- We scored Memopezil 3.9 and led the review with the deepfake advertising campaign reported by Forbes and NBC.
- We researched a seventh product, ProstaBliss, and never published it: its label contains no prostate-specific ingredient at all. There was a commission waiting on that page. We did not take it.
Our full advertising and affiliate disclosure explains this in detail.
Corrections
Prices change, sellers rewrite refund pages, and labels get reformulated. Every fact we verify carries the date we verified it, so you can see how fresh it is.
If you find something that is wrong or out of date, write to contact@activehealthguide.online. We correct the page itself and note what changed and when — we do not quietly edit and pretend the earlier version never existed.
What this site is not
- It is not medical advice. Nothing here diagnoses, treats, cures or prevents any disease. Whether a supplement suits you depends on your medications and your diagnosis, and only your doctor or pharmacist can answer that.
- It is not a store. We do not sell anything, we do not process payments, and we cannot access, change or refund your order. If you need help with a purchase, see our contact page.
- It is not sponsored content. We do not accept paid placements, paid reviews or gifted products in exchange for coverage.
