These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of www.viralvitalism.com, Viral Vitalism content, newsletters, pages, product links, tools, communities, and related services.

“Viral Vitalism,” “VV,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to this website and publication. “You” means any person who accesses or uses the site.

By using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

Informational and educational use only

Viral Vitalism is a health media and education website. Our content may discuss health, longevity, nutrition, fitness, supplements, clinical research, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical trends, wearable data, peptides, GLP-1 medications, regenerative medicine, and related topics.

The content is for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prescribing guidance, professional healthcare guidance, legal advice, financial advice, or a substitute for professional judgment.

No doctor-patient relationship

Using the site, reading our content, subscribing to our newsletter, clicking product links, or contacting us does not create a doctor-patient relationship, provider-patient relationship, pharmacist-patient relationship, dietitian-client relationship, attorney-client relationship, or any other professional relationship.

Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about medications, supplements, diet, exercise, testing, procedures, or medical care.

Emergency disclaimer

Do not use Viral Vitalism for medical emergencies. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call emergency services immediately.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the site. If you are under 18, you may use the site only with involvement and permission of a parent or guardian.

Some content may involve adult health topics and may not be suitable for minors.

Content accuracy and evolving science

We aim to produce useful, evidence-aware content, but health science changes quickly. Content may become outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate.

We do not guarantee that any content is complete, current, or error-free.

Articles may include scientific uncertainty, preliminary research, mechanistic hypotheses, anecdotal reports, expert opinions, or emerging evidence. You are responsible for evaluating information and consulting qualified professionals before relying on it.

Products, affiliates, and sponsored content

Viral Vitalism may link to products, services, books, supplements, devices, apps, tests, wearables, equipment, and merchants.

Some links may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click or buy. Affiliate relationships do not change the price you pay unless stated.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

We may also publish sponsored content, paid placements, product samples, partner content, or brand collaborations. We will disclose material relationships where required.

We do not guarantee that any product or service will be safe, effective, suitable, legal, available, or appropriate for you.

Product availability, pricing, ingredients, labeling, and claims may change without notice. Always read labels, warnings, and manufacturer instructions, and consult a qualified professional where appropriate.

No endorsement of third parties

References to studies, clinicians, companies, products, platforms, merchants, videos, podcasts, or social posts do not necessarily mean we endorse them.

Third-party content and websites are controlled by their owners, not by us.

We may remove, edit, or refuse user submissions at our discretion.
