Editorial policy
Answer
Sharper Rugby uses authorised claim wording only, describes research as research, and states plainly where no claim exists. Product recommendations are made on label criteria and affiliate links are marked sponsored.
Key takeaways
- How are health claims handled?
- Only claims on the authorised register are stated as claims. Anything else is described as research or as having no claim at all.
- Are competitor brands named?
- No. Comparisons are made on product type and label criteria rather than by naming other supplement brands.
- How are corrections handled?
- Pages are amended and the updated date is changed. Substantive corrections are noted on the page.
Claims
Health claims are used only in the authorised wording and only where the product meets the condition of use. Where a category carries no authorised claim, such as collagen or lion's mane, pages state that directly.
Research that has not been assessed for a claim is described as research. It is never presented as an established effect.
Medical boundaries
Injury, rehabilitation, return to play, medication interactions and anything involving a head knock are routed to a GP, physiotherapist or the relevant clinical pathway. No supplement is presented as treating, preventing or curing anything.
Pages touching kidney function, anticoagulants, pregnancy or under 18s carry the same routing rather than a recommendation.
Products and independence
Recommendations are made on label criteria: active content per serving, whether the threshold for a claim is met, testing, declared excipients and cost per day. Other supplement brands are not named, and comparisons are made by product type and label quality instead.
Futuro Labs Magnesium Glycinate, Futuro Labs Marine Collagen, Futuro Labs Omega 3 Fish Oil and Futuro Labs Lion's Mane are the products linked on this site, through Amazon UK affiliate links marked as sponsored.
Sources and updates
Sources are named on every page and link to primary material where it exists: the authorised claims register, gov.uk guidance, anti doping bodies and published research.
Pages carry a visible published and updated date. When a page is revised, the change is substantive rather than cosmetic, and the updated date reflects that.
Questions players ask
Does the site use AI to write pages?
Pages are researched and edited against label data and the authorised claims register before publication.
Why are no other brands named?
Comparisons work better on label criteria, and naming competitors adds nothing a reader can act on.
How can an error be reported?
Corrections are welcome through the club and coaching networks the site is written for.
