Health Disclaimer
Please read this before acting on anything you find on Habit Avenue.
General information only
Everything on this website is provided for general information and educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
No professional relationship
Reading this site does not create a doctor–patient or healthcare provider–patient relationship. The author is not a medical doctor, and nothing here should be taken as a professional clinical opinion about your individual circumstances.
Always consult your healthcare provider
Before starting any new supplement, diet, exercise programme, or health routine, speak to a qualified healthcare professional. This is especially important if you:
- Are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding
- Take any prescription or over-the-counter medication
- Have a diagnosed medical condition
- Have known allergies — including shellfish, which is relevant to some joint supplements
- Are scheduled for surgery
- Are giving any supplement to a child
Supplements can interact with medication and can affect existing conditions. Only a professional who knows your history can advise you safely.
Supplements are not evaluated like medicines
Dietary supplements are not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety or effectiveness before they're sold, and they are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Any statement on this site about a supplement describes how it is formulated or what it is intended to support — not a claim that it treats a medical condition.
Where I discuss research, I try to represent it fairly, including when the evidence is limited, mixed, or preliminary. A mention of a study does not mean a product is proven to work.
Individual results vary
Results described on this site — whether from research, from the author, or from user testimonials — are individual experiences. They are not typical, and they are not a guarantee that you will get the same result. Many people notice no change at all when taking a supplement. Anyone who promises otherwise is overselling.
Don't delay or ignore medical care
Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you read here. If you think you have a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately — in the US, call 911.
Persistent pain, swelling, unexplained weight loss, bleeding, or any symptom that worries you should be assessed by a doctor, not self-treated with a supplement.
Accuracy and no warranty
I take care to keep the information on this site accurate and current, but health guidance evolves and I'm not infallible. Content is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Habit Avenue and its author are not liable for any loss, injury, or damage arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content.
Affiliate relationships
Some links on this site are affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. This does not change my assessment of a product, but you should know it exists. Full details are on the Affiliate Disclosure page.
External links
This site links to third-party websites, including product sales pages. I don't control their content, accuracy, or privacy practices, and I'm not responsible for them.
