Editorial Policy

Our Commitment to Responsible Publishing

ProNail Complex publishes information about nail health, nail care, and dietary supplements. Health-related content carries real responsibility, so this Editorial Policy explains the standards that guide everything we publish: how topics are chosen, how information is researched and verified, how claims are reviewed, and how we handle mistakes.

This policy applies to every article, guide, product overview, and page on this website. To learn more about our purpose, visit our About Us page.

Our Editorial Principles

Accuracy first: We aim to publish information that is correct, current, and supported by reputable sources.
Reader benefit: Content is created to help readers understand a topic, not to pressure them into a purchase.
Careful language: We do not promise cures, guaranteed results, or medical outcomes.
Transparency: We disclose our commercial relationships, our use of technology, and the limits of our expertise.
Accountability: A named editor is responsible for what is published. See our Editor Profile.

Scope of This Policy

This policy covers:

Educational articles on nail health, nail care routines, and lifestyle factors
Ingredient overviews and nutrition-related content
Product information and reviews, including content about ProNail Complex
Comparison or “best of” style content, if published
Images, graphics, and any testimonials displayed on the site

Independence and Commercial Relationships

ProNail Complex is a commercial website. We participate in affiliate marketing, which means we may earn a commission if you purchase a featured product through our links, at no additional cost to you.

We want to be clear about how this affects our editorial work:

Commissions do not determine facts. We do not alter factual information about ingredients, regulations, or health topics because of a commission.
Disclosures are visible. Affiliate relationships are disclosed clearly and close to the relevant content, in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) and its Disclosures 101 guidance.
Promotion is identifiable. Promotional content, calls to action, and affiliate links are not disguised as neutral information.

Full details are available in our Monetization Policy.

How We Choose Topics

Topics are selected based on:

Questions frequently asked by people interested in nail health and nail care
Gaps where existing online information is unclear, outdated, or exaggerated
Reader suggestions received through our Contact Us page and the channels described in our Feedback Policy
Developments in public health guidance or regulation that affect our readers

Research and Sourcing Standards

Source Hierarchy

We prioritize sources in the following order:

Government and public health authorities, such as the U.S. FDA, the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, and MedlinePlus
Professional medical and dermatology organizations, such as the American Academy of Dermatology
Peer-reviewed scientific literature, searched through databases such as PubMed
Official manufacturer information, which we treat as a claim to be verified, not as independent proof
Reputable secondary sources, used only when primary sources are unavailable

What We Avoid

Anonymous forums or unverified social media posts as evidence for health claims
Sources that exist mainly to sell products
Studies on unrelated ingredients, animals, or lab conditions presented as proof of results in humans
Outdated information when newer guidance is available

Evidence Language

We describe evidence honestly. Where research is limited, preliminary, or mixed, we say so. We use cautious wording such as “may support,” “is commonly associated with,” or “some studies suggest,” and we avoid presenting early findings as established facts.

Standards for Health and Product Claims

Health claims are the most sensitive part of our work. Our rules are:

No disease claims. We do not state or imply that a dietary supplement can diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, including fungal nail infections. Under U.S. law, such claims are reserved for approved drugs. See the FDA’s explanation of structure/function claims.
Substantiation matters. Consistent with the FTC’s Health Products Compliance Guidance and Dietary Supplements: An Advertising Guide for Industry, we expect health-related statements to be supported by competent and reliable evidence.
No guaranteed results. We do not promise timelines, outcomes, or “miracle” effects.
No fabricated urgency or scarcity. We do not use fake countdown timers, false stock warnings, or invented deadlines.
No misleading before-and-after content. Images and testimonials are not used in a way that suggests typical results unless that is accurate and substantiated.
Medical referral. When a topic involves symptoms that may signal infection or illness, such as pain, swelling, spreading discoloration, or nail separation, we encourage readers to consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Our audience includes readers in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Advertising and health product rules differ by country, so we also keep in mind standards set by authorities such as the UK Advertising Standards Authority, Health Canada, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration, and New Zealand’s Medsafe. Product availability and permitted claims may vary by region.

Our Content Creation Process

Every article follows these steps:

Assignment and research: The topic is defined and sources are gathered according to the hierarchy above.
Drafting: Content is written in clear, plain English for a general audience.
Fact-checking: Statistics, ingredient information, regulatory statements, and quotations are verified against their original sources.
Claims and compliance review: The draft is checked for disease claims, exaggerated promises, missing disclosures, and misleading comparisons.
Editorial approval: The editor reviews and approves the content before publication.
Publication: The article is published with a visible date and, where relevant, an affiliate disclosure.
Maintenance: Content is revisited periodically and updated when guidance, research, or product information changes.

Medical Review

[Choose one version and delete the other.]

Version A (no medical reviewer): ProNail Complex is not a medical publication, and our content is not reviewed by a licensed medical professional unless explicitly stated on a specific article. Our editor is not a physician, dermatologist, or podiatrist. See our Editor Profile for details. Readers should consult a qualified healthcare provider for personal medical guidance.

Version B (with a medical reviewer): Select articles are reviewed by [Reviewer’s Name, credentials, verifiable profile]. Reviewed articles display the reviewer’s name and review date. Medical review is a check on general accuracy and does not create a doctor-patient relationship or constitute personal medical advice.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

We may use AI-based tools to assist with research organization, outlining, drafting, or editing. AI is a tool, not an authority. All AI-assisted content is reviewed, fact-checked, and approved by a human editor before publication, and AI output is never accepted as a source of evidence. Our full approach is described in our Artificial Intelligence Use Policy.

Reviews, Testimonials, and Images

Product information: Descriptions of ProNail Complex are based on information provided by the seller and publicly available data. We do not claim to have independently tested the product unless we explicitly say so and describe how.
Testimonials: Any testimonial we display must be genuine, must reflect the experience of a real person, and must not be presented as typical unless substantiated. Individual results vary.
Images: Photographs and graphics are used for illustration. Stock images are not presented as images of real customers.
Reader comments and reviews: If enabled, user comments represent the views of their authors, not ours, and we may moderate content that is abusive, misleading, or unsafe.

Updates and Corrections

Information about health and regulation changes. We review content periodically and display publication or “last reviewed” dates. If we identify or are notified of an error, we:

Investigate the issue promptly
Correct factual errors clearly
Note significant corrections on the article where appropriate

The complete process is explained in our Corrections Policy.

Reader Feedback

We welcome questions, challenges, and suggestions. If you believe something on our site is inaccurate, unclear, or misleading, please tell us. Our Feedback Policy explains how submissions are handled, and you can reach us anytime via our Contact Us page.
