Editorial standards
Content Update Policy
Metabolic science changes. Content that does not keep up stops being trustworthy. Our pages are maintained, not archived.
Last updated
Visible dates
Every article, guide, resource, and research summary shows when it was published and when it was last updated, so readers can judge how current it is.
What triggers an update
- New pivotal trial data or a major systematic review on the topic.
- Changes to drug approvals, labelling, or clinical guidelines.
- A correction, a broken link, or a reader-reported issue.
- Scheduled periodic review, regardless of whether anything else changed.
How updates are handled
Substantive updates pass back through the same review process as new content. The last-updated date reflects meaningful revision, not cosmetic edits, so the date stays honest.
Evergreen by design
Our reference resources — glossaries, hormone libraries, statistics pages, and timelines — are built to be maintained indefinitely and revised as the field moves.
