Methodology
We cover medicines and interventions people use to change their metabolism and their aging. That is consequential territory. These are the rules we hold ourselves to.
- 01
Primary sources, never summaries
Every factual claim is tied to the trial publication, the FDA / DailyMed label, or the peer-reviewed paper of record. We do not cite press releases, secondary blogs, or AI-generated summaries as evidence.
- 02
Citations are live-verified
Before publication, each reference is checked against the source of record — PubMed, DailyMed, ClinicalTrials.gov — to confirm the authors, year, journal, and the specific figure being cited. Citations are never reconstructed from memory.
- 03
Magnitude over vibes
We report effect sizes, hazard ratios, confidence intervals, and durations — not adjectives. Where evidence is preclinical or thin, we say so plainly rather than implying more than the data supports.
- 04
Independence, disclosed
Aminoscope earns revenue through clearly labeled partnerships with vetted telehealth and pharmacy providers. Partners are disclosed and listed first on provider lists; what we write about a provider, and every safety statement, does not depend on whether it is a partner.
- 05
Research, not medical advice
Our work is educational. It is not a substitute for an individualized consultation with a licensed clinician, and we say so on every page that discusses a medication or intervention.
Frequently asked
- What sources does Aminoscope cite?

- Do commercial partnerships affect your verdicts?
- They affect order, not substance. Aminoscope earns revenue through clearly labeled partnerships, and partners are listed first on provider lists. What we write about a provider, and every safety statement, is the same whether or not it is a partner.
