How we work
Our editorial standards
We sell a supplement, so you should read our guides knowing that. This page sets out exactly how they are written, what we refuse to claim, and where our information comes from — so you can judge the content on its merits.
Who writes these pages
Our guides are written and edited in-house by the Drivenol editorial team, working from published human research, NHS guidance, UK advertising rules and the specification of the ingredients we use. We do not currently have a named clinician on staff, and we are not going to invent one. If that changes, their name, qualification and registration number will appear on the pages they review.
What that means in practice: treat these pages as carefully sourced consumer information from a company that sells a product, not as medical advice. For anything about your own health, your GP or pharmacist is the right person.
What we will not do
- We will not claim that Drivenol, or any ingredient in it, treats, cures or prevents any condition. That would be unlawful for a food supplement, and untrue.
- We will not publish reviews, ratings or testimonials we cannot verify.
- We will not use countdown timers, fake stock warnings or invented urgency.
- We will not quote animal or laboratory research as if it were human evidence.
- We will not hide the weaknesses in the research. Where evidence is thin, the page says so.
Where our information comes from
Guides that discuss research cite their sources at the foot of the page, and we link out so you can read them. In order of the weight we give them:
- NHS and other UK public health guidance.
- Randomised controlled trials in humans, and systematic reviews of them.
- Independent evidence summaries such as Examine.com.
- GB nutrition and health claims rules and ASA guidance, for what may lawfully be said.
- Ingredient supplier specifications, for what an extract is — never for what it does.
How we handle uncertainty
Much of the research on botanical ingredients is small, short and mixed. Where that is the case we say it plainly rather than picking the flattering study. Several of our guides end up recommending sleep, resistance training and a GP appointment ahead of anything we sell, because that is what the evidence supports.
Reviewing and updating
Each guide carries a last-reviewed date. We revisit pages when the underlying guidance changes, when our formula or prices change, or when a reader points out a problem. Updates that change the substance of a page also change that date.
Commercial transparency
Drivenol is sold direct from this website. We do not run affiliate links, we are not paid to mention other brands, and we do not accept payment for coverage. Our guides link to our own product because we sell it — you can weigh that as you see fit, which is exactly why this page exists.
Tell us if we are wrong
If you find a statement on this site that is inaccurate, out of date or badly worded, tell us and we will correct it. Email us through the contact page and quote the page address.
This page is general information about food supplements and is not medical advice. Drivenol is a food supplement and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. If you have a health concern, or you take prescription medication, speak to your GP or pharmacist.
