How one review gets sorted

Gather
We look for posts on public parent forums and blogs from parents who tried something with their own child.
Summarize
We don't copy the posts. We write a short summary in our own words, show it in 8 languages and always link the original.
Sort
We split out the child's age, diagnosis, how long they took it, results and side effects.

Questions

No. It only gathers what other parents went through. Talk to your child's doctor before starting or changing any medicine or supplement.

From public parent forums and personal blogs. Every review shows the country, the source and a link to the original.

No. They belong to the people who wrote them, so we don't copy them: we pull out the result, duration and side effects and write a short summary. A summary can get things wrong, so every review links to its original.

They are shares among parents who chose to write in, so they may differ from all children. Items with few reviews say so instead of showing a rate.
