Our Commitment to Accuracy and Integrity

Ahtna Heritage is dedicated to being a reliable source of information for our readers. Our editorial team and contributors strive to uphold the highest standards of journalistic integrity, accuracy, and transparency. We understand the responsibility that comes with providing health-related content and are committed to ensuring our readers receive information that is well-researched, evidence-based, and free from bias.

Research and Sourcing

Every piece of content published on Ahtna Heritage is meticulously researched. Our process involves:

Reputable Sources: We draw information from credible and authoritative sources, including peer-reviewed scientific journals, medical institutions (e.g., NIH, CDC, WHO), government health organizations, and established clinical research.
Product Evaluation: For product reviews, we analyze product specifications, ingredient lists, manufacturer claims, and available scientific literature on those ingredients. We also consider customer feedback from various platforms to provide a comprehensive view.
Balanced Perspective: Our reviews aim to present a balanced perspective, highlighting both the benefits and potential drawbacks, pros and cons, of products or health approaches.

Medical Review Process

To ensure the medical accuracy and clinical relevance of our content, Ahtna Heritage employs a rigorous medical review process:

Qualified Reviewers: All health and product review articles are subject to review by qualified medical professionals or experts in relevant fields (e.g., registered dietitians, certified nutritionists, doctors).
Verification: Reviewers verify the factual accuracy, currency, and clinical appropriateness of the information presented. They ensure that claims are supported by scientific evidence and that health advice is safe and responsible.
Corrections: Any discrepancies or inaccuracies identified during the medical review are promptly corrected before publication.

Affiliate Disclosure and Transparency

Clear Labeling: We clearly disclose our affiliate relationships within relevant content sections, often with disclaimers or explicit mentions of affiliate links.
No Extra Cost: Purchasing through our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay for a product. It is a way for us to sustain our operations and continue providing valuable content.
