The SailRx blog exists to help you understand weight loss and longevity treatment before you talk with a provider. This page explains how our articles are researched, written, and checked, so you can decide how much weight to give them.
Where our information comes from
Every factual or clinical claim in an article is backed by a source listed at the end of that article. We draw on:
- Peer-reviewed research, including published clinical trials
- The National Institutes of Health and other public health agencies
- U.S. Food and Drug Administration labeling and safety communications
- Guidance from major medical societies
We do not use other companies’ marketing pages as sources. When a claim cannot be traced to a reliable source, we leave it out.
How articles are written
We use AI tools to help research and draft articles. Every draft is then checked against its sources and our writing rules, and a member of the SailRx team reads and approves it before it is published. Nothing is published automatically.
Our writing rules are strict. We report what studies observed, as averages and ranges, rather than promising results. We do not name or compare ourselves to branded medications, and we do not include prices, patient stories, or testimonials.
Medical review
When an article has been reviewed by a licensed clinician, their name, credentials, and the review date appear on the article. Articles without that notice have not been individually reviewed by a clinician.
Our articles are general education. They are not medical advice and do not replace a consultation with a licensed healthcare provider. At SailRx, every patient completes an online assessment that is reviewed by a licensed physician, who decides whether treatment is appropriate.
About compounded medications
SailRx offers compounded medications prepared by FDA-registered pharmacies, and some articles link to our treatments. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are dispensed. Clinical trial results described in our articles come from studies of FDA-approved medications, and we say so when it matters.
Updates and corrections
Research and guidance change. We revise articles when we learn that something in them is out of date or wrong.
If you spot an error, email support@sailrx.co. We review every report and correct mistakes promptly.
