Understanding our platform and how information is gathered and presented.
We maintain an extensive database of performance-enhancing compounds, substances, and brands. Each entry includes details on mechanisms, common dosages, potential effects, side effects, and links to relevant products and user reviews. This information is compiled from scientific literature, reputable sources, and user contributions (which are clearly marked).
Registered users can submit detailed reviews of products they have used. These reviews include ratings, usage details (dosage, cycle length, goals), reported effects (positive and negative), and overall experience. Submitted reviews are reviewed by moderators against our Community Guidelines before being published to ensure they are constructive and free from prohibited content.
Average ratings for products, brands, and substances are calculated based on these approved user reviews.
We provide a platform for users and brands to upload High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) test results for specific product batches. These tests help verify the identity and purity of the compounds in a product. While we facilitate the sharing of these results, AnabolicIndex does not perform the tests ourselves or guarantee their accuracy. Users should evaluate the source and details of the lab report.
"Top Rated" lists for products, brands, and substances are generated based on the aggregated average ratings from approved user reviews. We may also employ ranking algorithms like the Wilson Score Confidence Interval (especially for products) to provide more statistically reliable rankings, particularly when the number of reviews varies.
"Trending" metrics, where applicable, might be based on recent review activity or other engagement signals, but are generally harder to determine accurately without dedicated tracking.
AnabolicIndex aims to be an unbiased platform. We do not promote specific brands or sell products directly. Our revenue model (if applicable, e.g., advertising, premium features) is designed to maintain editorial independence. User reviews and data aggregation form the core of our information.
