Plankton for Health is an online resource for anyone curious about marine phytoplankton, and I want to be straight about who runs it. Our founder had a life-changing experience taking phytoplankton, which gave him a clear mission: to tell as many people as possible about this plant.
So the site does two jobs. It is a hub for evidence, and a shop selling the product direct. You will always know which hat is on.
How our content is written and checked
Our articles are written by our qualified editorial team and checked against published sources, so the aim is always that they are accurate, properly referenced and clearly written. We do not run a standing medical or clinical review board, and I would rather say that plainly than imply oversight we do not have. Where a claim needs a citation, you should find one; where the evidence is thin or mixed, we try to say so rather than overstate it.
Plankton for Health Editorial Guidelines
Every post is reviewed for accuracy by our editorial team, against guidelines we hold to strictly. The point is simple: to give you information you can actually rely on. As one of the first specialist phytoplankton resources online, the site keeps a close eye on the latest scientific and medical research into this plant. You will find the detail in the full editorial policy.
How we keep our information trustworthy
The way our editorial standards, review process, product evidence, and commercial disclosures are shown is steadily improving. If you want to see how the site works before taking anyone’s word for anything, or before you visit the shop, these pages set it out plainly:
- Editorial Policy
- Medical Review Policy
- Testing and Sourcing Policy
- Affiliate Disclosure
- Health Disclaimer
As older articles get worked back through, you will see claims made clearer, stronger evidence added where it exists, and anything that could be misread as medical advice rewritten. It is slow work, and I would rather do it properly than rush it.
