Aminoscope
The Aminoscope standard

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.

  1. 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 We do not cite press releases, secondary blogs, or AI-generated summaries as evidence.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 04

    Independence, disclosed

    Aminoscope earns revenue through clearly labeled partnerships with vetted telehealth and pharmacy providers. Those relationships are disclosed and never determine a ranking, a verdict, or a safety statement.

  5. 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?
Every factual claim is tied to a primary source — the trial publication, the FDA or DailyMed label, or the peer-reviewed paper of record. We do not treat press releases, secondary blogs, or AI-generated summaries as evidence.
How are citations verified?
Before publication, each reference is checked against the source of record — PubMed, DailyMed, or ClinicalTrials.gov — to confirm the authors, year, journal, and the specific figure being cited. Citations are never reconstructed from memory.
Do commercial partnerships affect your verdicts?
No. Aminoscope earns revenue through clearly labeled partnerships, but those relationships never determine a ranking, a verdict, or a safety statement. Placement can be commercial; the substance of the evidence review is not.
Is anything on Aminoscope medical advice?
No. Our work is educational research, not a substitute for individualized care from a licensed clinician. We say so on every page that discusses a medication or intervention.
