Editorial Policy

Last updated: April 2026

This page explains how Bones After 50 produces, reviews and publishes its content. Bone health is a subject where bad information has consequences you can measure — someone stops a prescribed drug, or takes up a movement that fractures a vertebra — so our method belongs in the open where you can judge it.

Our Editorial Mission

Bones After 50 publishes educational content on bone health, osteoporosis, nutrition, supplements and safe exercise for adults over 50. Our goal is to be genuinely useful and medically responsible — not to alarm, oversell or oversimplify.

Sources We Use

We prioritise the following source types:

• National health bodies: NIH, NIAMS, NHS, CDC
• Specialist organisations: Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF), Endocrine Society
• Established clinical sources: Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Harvard Health
• Peer-reviewed research in recognised medical journals
• Clinical practice guidelines from recognised professional bodies
• USPSTF recommendations where relevant

We do not use affiliate product pages, marketing materials or unverified anecdotal sources as evidence for health claims.

What We Do Not Claim

We do not publish content that:

• Claims a supplement, programme or lifestyle change will reverse or cure osteoporosis
• Promises specific fracture risk reductions or bone density improvements in a set timeframe
• Advises readers to stop, avoid or replace medication
• Uses the phrases “without drugs”, “doctor-approved” (without a real doctor), or “guaranteed results”
• Presents testimonials as medical evidence
• Attributes medical review to individuals who have not actually reviewed the content

Authorship and Review

Content is written and edited by the Bones After 50 Editorial Team. We are editors; none of us practises medicine, nursing or dietetics. What we do is read the guidance documents and the studies behind them, then set out what they say with the uncertainty left in.

We do not use the label “medically reviewed” unless a qualified medical professional has actually reviewed the content. We do not fabricate reviewers or credentials.

Where content has been reviewed or fact-checked by a named individual, this is disclosed on the article page.

Affiliate Content and Editorial Independence

Some articles include affiliate links. When they do, this is clearly disclosed at the top or bottom of the article and on our Affiliate Disclosure page.

Our topic list comes from reader questions and from the gaps we find when we go looking for an answer ourselves; it is not assembled from affiliate programme catalogues. A product we can earn from faces the same questions as one we cannot: what the evidence actually shows, what it costs, and who should leave it alone.

We do not publish content designed primarily to sell a product. Articles with affiliate recommendations include honest context, limitations and medical caveats.

How We Review Products

Product pages are based on the vendor’s official information, pricing and policies and on public user feedback. We do not claim to have hands-on tested every product. For The Bone Density Solution, our review is based on the materials we have seen. If a vendor or owner offers us access, we will test it and update the page to say which parts were tested. Method last updated: 16 October 2026.

Corrections Policy

If we identify an error — factual, safety-related or otherwise — we correct it promptly. Significant corrections are noted on the relevant article. If you believe something we have published is inaccurate, please contact us and we will investigate.

Content Currency

Medical guidance evolves. We aim to review and update articles when relevant evidence changes. Articles include a publication date, and significant updates are noted in the article. However, we cannot guarantee that every article reflects the most current guidance at any given time. Always check with a healthcare professional for up-to-date personal guidance.
