About The Habit Verdict
We publish short, sceptical buying notes on habit and wellness products — the kind of product you see in an ad, search for once, and want a straight answer about before you spend money.
Who runs this site
thehabitverdict.com is an independent publication. We are not a retailer, we do not hold stock, we do not process payments, and we are not the manufacturer or an authorised seller of any product we write about.
Bylines on this site are pen names used by our editorial team. Reach the desk at [email protected].
How we make money
Affiliate commission. When you click a link on this site and buy something, the merchant pays us a commission. The price you pay is exactly the same as it would be if you had typed the address in directly. We are paid for the sale, not for a positive review, and nothing on this site is a paid placement written by a brand.

How we write about products
- Brand claims are labelled as brand claims. If the manufacturer says an ingredient does something, we write that the manufacturer says it. We do not restate marketing as fact.
- Prices are dated. Every price we publish carries the date we read it off the merchant's checkout, because launch promotions move.
- No invented social proof. We do not write testimonials, we do not attach stock photos to made-up names, and we do not publish star ratings we did not collect. If no independent reviews exist yet, we say so and give the date we checked.
- No fake scarcity. No countdown timers that reset, no stock counters, no "offer ends tonight" that does not end tonight.
- We publish the objection. If a dose looks small or a headline discount has a condition attached, that goes in the article, usually above the price table.
What we are not
We are not doctors, dietitians or pharmacists, and nothing here is medical advice. Dietary supplements are not evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Talk to a qualified professional before starting anything, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a health condition.
Corrections
If something here is wrong — a price, an ingredient amount, a policy detail — email [email protected] and we will correct it and note the change on the page.
