About Go Health Reviews
Go Health Reviews is a one-person site. I’m Martin Smith, and I research weight-loss supplements and diet programs for readers over 50, so you can see what’s behind a sales page before you buy. For each product I look at what’s on the label, what published studies say about each ingredient, the side effects, the refund terms and how to find the real seller. I don’t sell any products myself. Some links on the site earn me a commission, and every page that has them says so.
Who’s Behind Go Health Reviews
I’m Martin Smith. By day I work in a school as a Lead Teaching Assistant and ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) practitioner, and I run Go Health Reviews in my own time. I started it because the weight-loss supplement adverts aimed at people over 50 make big promises, and the evidence is hard to find unless you go looking for it. So I go looking for it, and write up what I find in plain English.
I’m not a doctor or dietitian, and I don’t test products myself: every review is desk research, not hands-on testing, with its sources linked so you can check them. Nothing here replaces advice from your own doctor, especially if you take medication or have a health condition. When a product falls short of its own claims, or isn’t a good fit for everyone, I say so plainly.

How I pick products
I review weight-loss supplements and diet programs that people over 50 are likely to see advertised or come across when searching, including products I end up not recommending. For each one I start with the official website: what it is, what’s in it and who sells it. If a product goes off sale, I say so on its review and remove the buying links.
What I look at for every review
- Published studies: for each main ingredient I look for human studies and link a specific study on PubMed, not a search page. I grade the evidence as Strong, Some, Limited or None found, and I say when a study was small, short or done in animals.
- The official website: the label, the ingredient amounts (or a note when they aren’t disclosed), the directions and what the manufacturer claims. Sales-page claims are labelled as the manufacturer’s, not presented as fact.
- Refund policies: how long the guarantee lasts, who handles refunds (often ClickBank) and how ordering works, so you know what to expect before you buy.
- User reviews: what customers report on independent sites such as Trustpilot and the Better Business Bureau, good and bad, including complaints, with the date I checked. When I can’t find independent reviews, I say so rather than guess, and I don’t treat reviews as proof that a product works.
Every review shows a “Last updated” date. I revisit reviews when a formula or refund policy changes or new research comes out. For the full step-by-step process, see my research process.
What I don’t do
- I don’t test products myself. Every review is desk research, and I never claim hands-on results.
- I don’t give medical advice. I’m not a doctor or dietitian, so talk to your own doctor before starting any supplement, especially if you take medication, are pregnant or have a health condition. See my medical disclaimer.
- I don’t sell, ship or refund products. Orders and refunds go through the manufacturer’s official site.
- I don’t use star ratings, before-and-after photos or customer testimonials.
How affiliate commission works
Some links on this site are affiliate links, most of them through ClickBank. If you buy through one, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Pages with affiliate links show a disclosure box at the top, and some pages, such as my general health guides, have no affiliate links at all. Commission never decides a verdict: I review products I don’t recommend, I point out weak evidence and complaints even on products I link to, and no company pays me for a review or a better verdict. Full details are in my affiliate disclosure.
Spotted a mistake?
If you find something wrong or out of date, such as a study that doesn’t say what I wrote, a changed ingredient list or a broken link, please tell me through the contact page. Include the page address and what needs fixing. I check every report, correct the page if I got it wrong and update its “Last updated” date.
