Who writes our articles
Our articles are written by the Dr.Primal editorial team and published under the byline Dr.Primal Editorial. We are not doctors, and nothing we publish is medical advice.
We write for adults dealing with digestive changes, especially life after gallbladder removal, who want a plain-language account of what the research actually says.
Where our information comes from
We build each article from published research: peer-reviewed studies, clinical guidelines and review papers. Every claim that rests on a study is numbered in the text and listed under References at the end of the article, with a link to the source wherever one exists.
- We prefer studies in people over studies in animals or cells, and we say so when the evidence is early.
- We describe what a study found, in the people it studied, and do not stretch it further.
- We do not use testimonials as evidence.
How we write about TUDCA
We sell TUDCA 500mg, and we say so whenever an article mentions it. We describe what TUDCA has been studied for, never what it will do for you. A supplement is not a substitute for medical care.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Keeping articles current
We re-read our articles as new research is published. When an article changes in substance, the date it was updated appears under its title.
Corrections
If you think something in an article is wrong or out of date, tell us. We check every report, and when we correct an article we update its date.
