Who writes this
RowGress is written and built by its founder, drawing on personal experience of quitting drinking and on published research. There is no content team and no ghostwriting. The site is published without a personal byline by choice: a site that promises its visitors anonymity keeps its own. First-person essays are labeled as personal experience; research pieces describe what published studies say and link to them.
What gets claimed, and how
Health claims are hedged at the level the evidence supports: population-level patterns are described as patterns, small studies are described as small, and mixed results are described as mixed. Nothing on this site states or implies that any product, supplement, or practice treats, cures, or prevents alcohol use disorder, withdrawal, or any other condition.
Where the writing touches medically dangerous territory, especially withdrawal after heavy daily drinking, it says plainly that medical care is the answer and links to real resources, not to content.
Sourcing
Research pieces cite reputable sources: NIH and its institutes (including NIAAA and the Office of Dietary Supplements), MedlinePlus, peer-reviewed journals via PubMed, and Cochrane reviews. Supplement pages carry a visible source list, and every efficacy statement on them links to the research it comes from. Marketing claims, brand studies, and supplement-industry content are not acceptable sources.
The supplement research section
The supplement section is educational only. Each page grades the strength of the evidence (strong, moderate, limited, or preliminary), reports safety concerns and drug interactions honestly, and carries the FDA disclaimer and a withdrawal-safety notice. There are no product recommendations, no brands, no affiliate links, and no purchase links anywhere in the section. Dosages appear only as attributed facts about what studies used, never as recommendations.
No medical professional reviews this site before publication, which is exactly why it does not give medical advice. Read it as carefully assembled background for a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist, not as a substitute for one.
