Ellasie Editorial Policy and Content Standards
Ellasie publishes wellness content to answer real reader questions clearly, accurately and responsibly. This policy explains who creates the content, how sources are selected, where AI-assisted tools and translation fit, how commercial interests are separated from editorial conclusions, and when a correction or specialist re-review is required.
English is the source version for Ellasie editorial content. Named author and reviewer details on an individual page are the authoritative record for that specific revision.
The editorial standard in one sentence
Ellasie aims to publish content that is useful to readers, transparent about how it was created, proportionate to the available evidence and clear about the difference between education, product information, commercial promotion and personal medical advice.
What this policy covers
The policy applies to the content Ellasie controls, but different page types can require different levels of review.
Included in the editorial framework
- Educational pillar pages and wellness guides
- Blog articles and explanatory support content
- Trust, quality, ingredient and review-policy pages
- Educational sections of product pages
- Comparison or decision-support pages created by Ellasie
- English source content and its translated versions
Not treated as Ellasie-authored editorial content
- Customer reviews and user-generated submissions
- Statements on external websites controlled by third parties
- Quoted research, regulator or manufacturer documents
- Independent media coverage or retailer descriptions
- Comments or opinions clearly attributed to another person
Editorial principles
These principles apply whether a page is written manually, created with technological assistance or translated from the English source.
Answer the real question
Content should resolve the reader’s likely question, explain practical implications and avoid padding created only to reach a word count.
Use plain, precise language
Technical terms are explained where needed. Simplification must not change the scientific meaning or make uncertain evidence sound certain.
Represent evidence fairly
Mixed, weak, negative or limited evidence should not be hidden because a more positive conclusion would be commercially convenient.
Separate education from treatment
General information should not diagnose the reader, prescribe treatment or imply that supplements replace appropriate healthcare.
Make responsibility visible
Named authors, reviewers, dates and source links are used where appropriate so readers can understand who was responsible for the content.
Correct rather than defend
Substantiated errors are corrected. Unsupported claims are revised or removed rather than preserved with softer promotional wording.
Who creates the content, how it is produced and why it exists
Named people and accountable teams
Authors, editors, product specialists and reviewers can contribute according to the page. Andre Minello provides brand and product context for selected Ellasie content. Specialist review is attributed only when it has genuinely occurred.
Research, drafting, verification and review
Content can involve source research, product-document checks, drafting, editing, AI-assisted tools, specialist assessment, compliance checks, translation and final human approval.
Reader understanding before search manipulation
Content exists to answer genuine questions, explain products and evidence responsibly, support safer decisions and connect readers to relevant sources or professional care.
Current and historical specialist contributors
Contributor status is stated explicitly so historical attribution is not mistaken for current membership of the review team.
Dr Nurten Abaci Kaplan
Ellasie’s active Scientific Review Lead for selected supplement science, natural-product, ingredient, formulation and educational content relevant to her expertise.
Dr Rida Asghar
Historical reviewer or contributor to selected Ellasie content where the original page records that involvement. Her profile remains for transparent attribution, not as evidence of a current active role.
Dr Ioannis Nikitidis
Historical reviewer or contributor to selected Ellasie content where the original page records that involvement. His profile remains for transparent attribution, not as evidence of a current active role.
Source hierarchy for health and wellness content
Source choice depends on the question. Higher-level evidence is preferred for broad clinical conclusions, while current product specifications are used for factual statements about what a product contains.
| Priority | Source type | How it is used | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Current clinical guidance and public-health bodies | Used for diagnosis, treatment, referral, safety and public-health recommendations. | Guidance can differ by country and update date, so jurisdiction and currency matter. |
| 2 | Systematic reviews and meta-analyses | Used to understand the overall direction, consistency and limitations of multiple studies. | The conclusion depends on the quality and comparability of the included studies. |
| 3 | Human clinical trials | Used for evidence about a defined ingredient, strain, dose, formulation, population and outcome. | One trial should not be generalised automatically to another product or population. |
| 4 | Observational research | Used for associations, patterns and hypotheses where randomised trials may be limited. | Association does not establish cause and effect. |
| 5 | Mechanistic, laboratory or preclinical research | Used to explain plausible biological mechanisms and early-stage evidence. | It cannot prove that the same effect occurs in people or in a finished supplement. |
| 6 | Manufacturer or ingredient-supplier information | Used for specifications, manufacturing context, branded-ingredient details and supporting documents. | Commercial origin is identified, and supplier material is not treated as independent clinical proof. |
| 7 | Internal product specifications | Used as the current source for serving size, ingredient quantities, directions, warnings and product-format facts. | Specifications describe the product; they do not prove health effectiveness. |
Editorial workflow
Not every page requires every stage, but publication always remains a human responsibility.
Define the reader question
The team identifies the intended audience, purpose, search intent, safety context and whether the page is educational, commercial, technical or policy-led.
Gather and assess sources
Sources are selected according to the question. Publication dates, jurisdiction, study design, population, ingredient form and relevance are checked.
Draft with clear boundaries
The draft separates known facts, reasonable interpretation, uncertainty, product information and claims that cannot be supported.
Editorial and factual checks
Links, citations, names, product facts, terminology, dates, internal consistency, readability and commercial separation are checked.
Specialist or regulatory review
Medical, scientific or regulatory review is assigned where the topic, risk or claims require additional expertise.
Human approval and publication
A responsible human approves the final version, author and reviewer details, visible dates, internal links and publication status.
Commercial separation and conflicts of interest
Ellasie sells supplements. That commercial relationship should be visible rather than disguised as independent publishing.
What commercial separation means
- Educational pages may contain relevant links to Ellasie products.
- A product link does not determine the scientific conclusion.
- Weak, mixed or negative evidence should be reported where it materially affects the answer.
- A supplement should not be presented as replacing appropriate diagnosis or treatment.
- Customer reviews and sales data are not treated as clinical evidence.
Disclosure and editorial independence
- Ellasie’s ownership of products discussed on the site is not hidden.
- Paid specialist review is payment for professional time, not a predetermined positive outcome.
- Sponsored, commissioned or externally contributed material should be identified where applicable.
- Unsupported claims are removed rather than retained because they may improve conversion.
Use of AI-assisted and other technology tools
Technology may assist the content workflow, but it does not replace human accountability.
Research organisation and outlining
AI-assisted tools may help organise topics, identify questions, structure an outline or compare source themes. They are not treated as the factual source.
Drafting, editing and formatting
Tools may assist with early drafts, rewriting, grammar, summaries, HTML structure, accessibility checks and consistency review.
Sources and claims are checked
Citations suggested by a tool must be opened and verified. Product facts, quotations, medical statements and regulatory claims require source-level checking.
Final responsibility remains human
Named human contributors remain responsible for source selection, factual decisions, specialist escalation, commercial boundaries and publication approval.
Translation and localisation policy
English is the source editorial record. Translated pages should preserve the meaning, safety context and review status of the source rather than reproduce words mechanically.
English source version
The English page is used for source selection, author and reviewer attribution, material-update decisions and the core editorial record.
Automated or DeepL-assisted translation
Machine-assisted translation may be used as part of the workflow. It is not assumed to produce final native-quality medical or scientific language automatically.
Priority-page editing
Priority pages may receive native-language, editorial or specialist review according to traffic, risk, commercial importance and available resources.
Review labels on translations
A translated page should carry the source review attribution only when the translated wording accurately preserves the reviewed meaning and safety boundaries.
Material localisation changes
Adding local medical advice, claims, dosages, legal wording or materially different conclusions may require a separate editorial, regulatory or specialist check.
Quality before availability
A translated page may be corrected, temporarily unpublished or excluded from indexing when its quality does not adequately represent the source.
Corrections, updates and date labels
Dates should communicate real editorial work, not create an artificial appearance of freshness.
Original publication date
The date the page was first made public. It is not replaced merely because the page receives later edits.
Material editorial update
Used when the substance, conclusions, product information, safety context or structure changes meaningfully.
Specialist review date
Used only after the named specialist has assessed the relevant version. It is not refreshed for a spelling or layout change.
Examples of material changes
- A changed health, treatment or safety conclusion
- New authoritative guidance affecting the advice
- A product reformulation or dosage change
- A substantial rewrite of reviewed sections
- New interaction, contraindication or referral information
- Consolidation of duplicate articles into a new primary page
Examples of minor changes
- Grammar, spelling or punctuation corrections
- Layout and accessibility improvements
- Repairing a broken link
- Updating a breadcrumb or internal anchor
- Adding a clearer citation without changing the conclusion
How to report an error
Use the Ellasie contact page and include the page URL, the wording in question and any supporting source. The editorial team assesses the report and escalates it when scientific, medical, product or regulatory input is needed.
A substantiated material error can result in an immediate correction, an explanatory note, an updated date, removal of a review label or full re-review. Ellasie does not refresh dates solely to make older content appear newly checked.
