PlungeHQ is committed to producing accurate, well-researched, and practical wellness gear content. This policy explains how we create, review, and maintain our guides.
Authorship
All content on PlungeHQ is written and edited with editorial review. When a health-content article has been reviewed by a credentialed expert, their name and credentials appear on the page along with the review date. We take responsibility for the accuracy, currency, and completeness of everything we publish.
Research Standards
Every guide is based on:
- Primary sources — peer-reviewed studies on PubMed, plus clinical guidance from the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and Harvard Health when we make a health claim.
- Manufacturer specs — product recommendations are based on verified specifications (temperature range, filtration, materials, warranty terms) checked against the manufacturer’s current product page.
- Price verification — prices are verified at the time of publication and dated in the article.
Health Claims
We distinguish three levels of evidence in our content:
- Demonstrated physiological response — measured effects in controlled studies.
- Observational association — correlations that may not imply causation.
- Preliminary or emerging evidence — early data that requires further study.
We never repeat a brand’s marketing claim as if it were an established fact, and we explicitly flag content that touches on medical topics as informational only — not medical advice.
Corrections
If we find an error, we correct it and update the article’s “last updated” date. Readers can report errors by emailing [email protected].
Independence
PlungeHQ is editorially independent. Affiliate relationships never influence our rankings or recommendations. See our Affiliate Disclosure for the full policy.
