Editorial Policy, Citation Rules & Health Information Disclaimer

How RedTongkatAliMY selects scientific citations, labels claim types, updates content, and separates education from product marketing. Organizational authorship — no fictional medical reviewers.

August 15, 2026

Editorial purpose

This site publishes educational pages about Red Tongkat Ali (红东革阿里), Tongkat Ali / Eurycoma longifolia research boundaries, and our dried root-slice product format. The competitive standard is transparency, not stronger health claims.

Authorship

Content is published under the organizational byline Red Tongkat Ali Malaysia. We do not invent individual medical doctors or scientific reviewers. When a named expert review exists, it will be disclosed with real credentials; none is claimed here.

Claim classification

Pages use labels such as:

  • [SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE] — tied to verified primary literature where possible
  • [TRADITIONAL USE] — cultural / historical practice, not a clinical trial
  • [PRODUCT INFORMATION] — what we sell and document
  • [BRAND INFORMATION] — company statements
  • [INFERENCE] — reasoned interpretation, not proven fact
  • [NOT ESTABLISHED] — missing or unverified evidence

Citation policy

  1. Prefer primary human research, then systematic reviews/meta-analyses.
  2. Only DOI/PubMed IDs locked in our verification process are listed as verified on the Evidence Index.
  3. Unverified numeric marketing claims are not attributed to our root slices.
  4. Extract research is never treated as automatic proof for dried root-slice tea.

Health information disclaimer

Articles are for education. They are not medical advice and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Tongkat Ali products discussed as food/herbal tea are not FDA-approved drugs. Ask a qualified clinician before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or take medicines.

Product vs research

Reusable boundary: research material (often standardized extract) ≠ our dried Red Tongkat Ali root slices ≠ any single unpublished batch.

Update policy

We revise pages when documentation status changes (for example, if a genuine batch COA becomes available) or when citation verification improves. lastmod in front matter reflects editorial updates.
