Unfortunately, the poorly kept secret of today&#8217;s mainstream consumer guides is that many simply recommend whichever product generates the highest &#8220;commission&#8221; for the publisher. We launched this website precisely to challenge this unacceptable status quo.<\/p>\n<p>Our frustration with the lack of transparency of some publications was the spark that motivated us to act, and today we put integrity at the heart of all that we do. Consumers deserve access to unbiased and honest information and we stop at nothing to deliver it. <em>We do not accept payment, free goods, or any other form of compensation to feature particular items.<\/em> Our selections and opinions are ours alone and are never influenced by third parties.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"our-stringent-vetting-process\"><\/span>Our Stringent Vetting Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>No article reaches the pages of our website without a thorough review conducted by an editor. We only ever link to credible medical sources. An average guide or review on RightHealth.com requires 12 hours of research and investigation. The following cornerstone principles are the foundation on which our website is built:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Evidence-based:<\/strong> we only ever cite high quality scientific studies published in peer-reviewed journals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Verifiable market research:<\/strong> we leave no stone unturned in our investigations and we draw on the experiences of real consumers. This can be particularly helpful in getting a sense of the quality of a firm&#8217;s customer service. We also welcome consumers to describe their experiences with products and companies on our website.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Testing:<\/strong> our team purchase products directly from manufacturers and do not receive or request test samples. This provides us with additional first-hand insight into the quality of a product and the standards of service upheld by the supplier.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Comprehensiveness:<\/strong> our reviews are typically signficantly longer and more detailed than those found in other publications. This is a product of our relentless commitment to offer the best available insight into every topic we tackle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transparent disclosure:<\/strong> like all publishers, we do require income sources in order to sustain our website and fairly compensate our reviewers. Articles containing Amazon affiliate links are clearly labeled as such. Those with an eager eye will notice that we don&#8217;t recommend products retailed by any other ecommerce website. Importantly, Amazon offer the same commission share on every product within a category. We uphold this policy as a means of demonstrating our commitment to unbiased selections. We do not receive a higher comission for selecting one product over another. This is one layer of a multi-faceted approach to ensuring our editorial integrity is upheld, now and forever.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"our-expert-contributors-editorial-team\"><\/span>Our Expert Contributors &#038; Editorial Team<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"tom-stevenson-bsc\"><\/span>Tom Stevenson, BSc<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-4981\" src=\"https:\/\/www.righthealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tom-stevenson-bio-150x150.png\" alt=\"Tom Stevenson, BSc\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.righthealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tom-stevenson-bio-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.righthealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tom-stevenson-bio-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.righthealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tom-stevenson-bio-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.righthealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tom-stevenson-bio-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.righthealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tom-stevenson-bio-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.righthealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tom-stevenson-bio-2048x2048.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.righthealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tom-stevenson-bio-788x788.png 788w, https:\/\/www.righthealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tom-stevenson-bio.png 1518w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>Tom serves as co-editor of RightHealth.com and specializes in comprehensive review articles.

In its original form, the website had an extremely wide scope, covering every conceivable health topic by coupling expert opinions with content generated on-the-fly.<\/p>\n<p>The original Kosmix-founded RightHealth.com had an innovative approach to health on the web, but it also had major limitations. Content generated by algorithms can lack the quality and depth of editorial material and the website also suffered from reliability issues.<\/p>\n<p>The new RightHealth.com addresses these problems by employing a team of professional health writers working with a clean, state-of-the-art website. Kosmix became part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walmartlabs.com\/\">WalmartLabs<\/a> family in 2011 and RightHealth.com is today owned by a new, independent company.<\/p>\n<p>Our vision is simple: RightHealth is all about connecting people to the information that matters to them. We are strictly independent and we don&#8217;t enter into any partnerships with brands or favor any one brand over another.<\/p>\n<p>In each review and buyer&#8217;s guide our team spend hours researching the market to dig up valuable and topical advice. This equips you with the knowledge you need to make better buying decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the sheer quantity of available products in any given category can overwhelm even the most patient of consumers. Marketing tactics can be deceptive and misleading &#8212; leading to a situation in which it is difficult to separate truth from fiction.<\/p>\n<p>This is the dilemma that we strive to solve with each and every article.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-people-said-about-righthealthcom\"><\/span><strong>What People Said About RightHealth.com<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;How do you create breadth and depth in content pages and make it a satisfying user experience is a big and hard problem&#8230; Kosmix has firmly established the lead in how this is going to happen.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>-Jonathan Miller News Corporation&#8217;s Chief Digital Officer<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I use Kosmix as a starting point to explore great content.
