Editorial Standards: How We Fact-Check FlowNerves
Every factual statement about FlowNerves on this site traces to the bottle front, the seller's brief or a public source such as the FDA, FTC or NIH. Seller wording appears in quotation marks and is never adopted as fact. We print no ratings or quotes, name no ingredient amount the label does not show, and fix errors on request.

Seven rules01
What rules do we follow when we write about FlowNerves?
We follow seven rules, and each one exists because a supplement site can drift toward sales language without anyone deciding to.
- Facts come from the bottle, the seller's brief or a named public source.
- Seller claims are quoted, never repeated as findings.
- Where a fact is missing, we say it is missing.
- We write no amount for an ingredient the label does not print.
- We promise no result.
- We print no review, rating or testimonial that has not been verified.
- We correct errors when we learn of them and show the date.
The rules are short on purpose. A reader should be able to hold us to them without reading a manual.
Stated by the seller or printed on the front
- A dietary supplement in capsules, 30 to a bottle
- One capsule a day with a meal and a full glass of water (the seller's FAQ)
- A proprietary blend, named by the seller
- Six named ingredients: magnesium glycinate, alpha lipoic acid, butcher's broom root extract, L-carnitine, turmeric extract, coenzyme Q10
- Turmeric extract at 95% curcuminoids (the sales page)
- A 60-day satisfaction promise from the original purchase date
- Free shipping on the 6-bottle kit (the sales page)
Not printed anywhere we can read
- How many milligrams of any name sit in a capsule
- The blend's total weight
- Which form of L-carnitine is used
- The order of the names (we cannot say it is weight order)
- A Supplement Facts panel, other ingredients and any allergen statement
- A distributor, manufacturer or testing lab
- Any study of the finished capsule
- Any result: no source shows it changes tingling, numbness or nerve damage
Built from the front of the bottle and the seller's brief (FlowNerves seller checkout). The sales page could not be read by our tools.
The board above is the same split we apply to every page: what is stated, and what is not printed.
Where facts come from02
How do we use sources?
Sources have a rank. The label and the seller's brief come first for product facts. Public agencies and peer-reviewed journals come first for health facts. Marketing pages never count as evidence for a health claim.
| Kind of source | What we use it for | What we do not use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Bottle images | What is printed on the front | Anything on a back label or panel we have not seen |
| Seller's brief | Prices, directions, guarantee, contacts | Health claims |
| Government agencies | Rules, safety and background | Product-specific promises |
| Peer-reviewed studies | What a trial in a stated group found | Claims about a different product or amount |
| Medical centers | Plain summaries and cautions | Anything their page does not say |
Each factual sentence carries a citation, and the full list sits at the bottom of the page with a short key sentence from the source. We read a source before we cite it, and we note its date. For example, the FDA explains that it does not approve supplements before sale,(FDA, FDA 101: Dietary Supplements) and the FTC's guidance says that dose and form differences matter when a claim is carried from a study to a product.(FTC, Health Products Compliance Guidance)
We do not cite a source for a point it does not make. When the sources go silent, as they do on the finished capsule and on a blend of these six names, we write that nothing was found.
Quotes stay quotes03
How do we treat the seller's wording?
The sales page could not be read by our tools, so we rely on the seller's brief and label every fact from it as the seller's. When we repeat a claim, it sits inside quotation marks, such as "straightforward nutritional support for your nerves". The quotation marks tell the reader that this is what the seller says and not what we found.
We never copy sales copy as our own voice. If a seller line cannot be tested, the page says so.
We show the seller's pack prices and confirm the total at checkout. The brief prints only the 2-bottle price; the other prices follow the standard ladder, so the checkout has the final word.
Directions follow the seller's FAQ, which says one capsule daily with a meal and a full glass of water. We tell readers to follow the bottle that arrives, because we have not seen a back label.
Banned claims04
What do we never write?
Some sentences are off limits whatever the product. We do not claim that a supplement offers treatment, cure or repair of nerve damage, or relief from numbness, tingling or burning. We do not write "clinically proven", "doctor recommended" or that a product is FDA approved. We do not write that anything is safe for everyone or has no side effects.
The reason is simple. The FDA does not approve supplement claims before they are sold, and structure and function wording cannot name a disease.(FDA, Structure/Function Claims) Disease claims belong to medicines that went through approval.
- No promises of results or timelines.
- No dose or percentage that the label does not print.
- No before-and-after stories.
- No named competitor products.
- Instead: what the label shows, what research found, and what to ask a clinician.
The fake-review rule05
How do we handle reviews and ratings?
We publish no star rating, no count of buyers and no customer quote, because we have not verified any. The FTC finalized a rule against fake reviews in August 2024, and invented or purchased testimonials fall squarely under it.(FTC, Final Rule Banning Fake Reviews)
The reviews page shows how a verified review would appear, with empty cards in place of invented ones. It also teaches readers how to judge any review, ours included. If real reviews are added later, each must come from a matched order, carry a date and be unedited apart from spelling.
Photos from the vendor appear only where a review card is filled, and they are labeled as vendor-supplied. A photo is a story, not a trial.
Review and corrections06
Who reviews and corrects the pages?
The label desk writes each page. A medical reviewer is then meant to read it for safety errors. No reviewer has been named yet, so each page shows empty fields where the name, credentials and date will appear, and none says "doctor reviewed". The about page explains the arrangement.
Corrections work in three steps.
- A reader writes to the website inbox with the page and the line.
- We check the claim against the cited source and the label.
- If the reader is right, we fix the page and update the date shown at the bottom.
We do not remove a correction request because it is awkward. Substantive changes appear in the page's last-updated date, so a reader can see that the text moved.
Money in the open07
What conflicts of interest should you know about?
We earn a commission when a reader orders through our links. The seller does not control the research, side-effect or medicine pages. We state the commission on the disclaimer page and again wherever an order button appears.
Read us the way you read any seller-funded site. Check the citation, ask a pharmacist and decide for yourself.
FAQ08
Questions about our standards
What does the label desk actually do?
The desk collects the label facts, finds public sources for each statement, writes in plain English and removes any wording that promises a result.
Do you test the capsules in a lab?
No. We have not tested FlowNerves, and we have seen no certificate of analysis. We read the label and public research.
Why do you quote the seller instead of paraphrasing?
Quotation marks mark whose words they are. A paraphrase can slide into sounding like a finding.
How old can a source be before you drop it?
There is no fixed age. We read each source's date, and an older source stays only if it still says what we cite.
Do you ever take down a page?
A page stays if its facts hold. If a fact fails and cannot be fixed, we correct or remove the page.
Can a reader suggest a source?
Yes. Write to the website inbox with the link and the sentence it supports, and we will read it before using it.
Do you accept free product or payment for coverage?
We earn a commission on orders. The pages do not change with a reader's choice to buy or not, and we publish no paid testimonial.
