Methodology

Three rules, no exceptions.

Ads are good at one thing: making a product sound obvious. Our job is to slow that down. This is how a product goes from an ad in your feed to a verdict on Life Angle.

Last updated Oct 20, 2026

01We start from the adWe save the ad and write down every claim it makes, in its own words. "Clinically proven." "No subscription." "Ships free." Each one becomes a line in the review.

02We check each claimAgainst the label or product page, published research, the checkout, the return policy, independent reviews and complaint boards. When we can use the product, we write down what we measured.

03We publish the verdictWorth it, depends or skip, with the date we checked and the price we saw that day.

How we evaluate supplements

Label first. Every ingredient and its amount per serving, taken from the label or the manufacturer's supplement facts.
Dose against the research. Whether the amounts are in the range used in published studies, and what those studies actually measured.
Quality signals. Third-party testing, manufacturing standards and certifications, when the maker documents them.
Real cost. Price per serving and per month, bundles, subscriptions and shipping.
Guarantee. The refund window and the conditions, checked on the seller's own terms.
Claims language. Manufacturer claims are quoted as manufacturer claims. Supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

How we evaluate devices and beauty tech

What it does. What the device measures or delivers, and how that compares with what the ad says.
Regulatory status. Clearances or registrations only when the maker documents them; otherwise we treat it as a consumer wellness product.
Total cost. The device, required subscriptions, replacement parts and accessories.
Daily use. Comfort, battery, app quality and the routine it asks of you.
Warranty and returns. Trial period, warranty length and who pays return shipping.

Sources we use

Product labels and manufacturer pages, peer-reviewed research, regulator databases and guidance (such as the FDA and the FTC), independent reviews, owner reports and complaint boards, and our own checkout checks. When sources disagree, the review says so.

What each line in a review means

TrueWe could confirm it on the label, the product page, in the terms, or by using the product.

Half trueTechnically accurate, but the ad leaves out something you would want to know before paying.

FalseWe could not confirm it anywhere, or we found the opposite. We say where we looked.

MissingNot a claim, but something the ad never mentions and you should know. Usually a limitation.

And what the verdict means

Worth itIt does what the ad says, at the price the ad says, and you can return it if it does not work for you.

DependsGood for a specific kind of buyer. The review says exactly who, and who should skip it.

SkipThe ad promises what the product does not deliver, or the fine print makes it a bad deal. We publish it anyway.

Under reviewWe are checking it now. The card on the home page says what stage we are at.

Re-checks and corrections

Prices and terms change. Every review carries a "checked on" date, and we re-check price, trial and refund terms regularly. If you find something out of date or wrong, write to us. Corrections are noted at the top of the review, with the date. Our standards are set out in the Editorial Policy.

Not medical advice. Supplements, wearables and beauty devices are consumer products. If you have a health condition, are pregnant or take medication, talk to a qualified professional first. See our Medical Disclaimer.
