Disclaimers & Terms
This page lists all disclaimers used across this platform, along with our rationale for including them.
Medical Disclaimer
The information on this platform is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this platform.
Why we include this disclaimer
We include this disclaimer because porcupine dates are sometimes marketed with unsubstantiated health claims. We want to ensure visitors understand that our content is educational, not prescriptive.
Evidence Disclaimer
Evidence ratings on this site reflect our assessment of currently available published research. These ratings may change as new research becomes available. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but it does mean claims should be treated with appropriate caution.
Why we include this disclaimer
Our evidence rating system is designed to help visitors quickly understand the strength of evidence behind any claim. We include this disclaimer to clarify our methodology and its limitations.
Commercial Disclaimer
Any products listed in our wellness shop are legal, plant-based supplements. They are not porcupine bezoars or wildlife-derived products. Product listings do not constitute endorsement of efficacy claims. We recommend consulting a healthcare provider before using any supplement.
Why we include this disclaimer
If we offer a shop section, we want to be transparent that products are plant-based alternatives and that listing a product is not an endorsement of health claims.
Conservation Disclaimer
This platform does not facilitate, support, or condone the trade of porcupine bezoars or any wildlife-derived products. Information about porcupine dates is provided for educational purposes only. We actively discourage the purchase of wildlife products and encourage legal, sustainable, and ethical alternatives.
Why we include this disclaimer
Given the conservation concerns surrounding porcupine populations, we want to make our position on wildlife trade unambiguously clear.
