How we work

PLENTIST explains what the evidence supports, says clearly where it is thin, and keeps every guide practical enough to use this week.

  • Clear about sourcesWe favour official guidance and strong research, and aim to list key sources so you can check them yourself.
  • Clearly datedEach guide shows when it was published or last updated, and we correct errors openly.
  • No miracle claimsWe don’t sell supplements, and we say so when something is overhyped.
