About The Larkfield Nutrition
We are an independent editorial team dedicated to producing clear, accurate and responsible information about botanical food supplements - in line with EFSA guidance, UK advertising standards and the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
A Nutrition Editorial Team You Can Trust
The Larkfield Nutrition was founded in 2021 with a single principle: that people deserve straightforward, evidence-based information about food supplements - without exaggeration, fear-mongering or misleading claims. We focus on the UK and European market and apply EFSA's register of authorised health claims as our editorial benchmark.
Our writers have backgrounds in nutrition science communication, dietetic journalism, consumer health writing and food regulatory affairs. We do not make therapeutic claims. We do not diagnose, treat or promise outcomes. We review, explain and inform.
All editorial content is reviewed against UK Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) guidance and EU Regulation 1924/2006 on nutrition and health claims before publication. Any claim referencing a nutrient's function is expressly framed as an EFSA-authorised structure/function claim and not as a claim about a specific product outcome.
M. Hartley has written on food supplements, dietary ingredients and consumer health topics for specialist trade publications and general-interest wellness media since 2018. All reviews follow The Larkfield Nutrition editorial checklist, which includes ingredient verification, EFSA claim cross-referencing and a transparency audit of product labelling.
P. Whitmore advises on compliance with EU Regulation 432/2012 (EFSA health claims) and UK food supplement labelling requirements. All claim language used on this site has been reviewed for alignment with authorised claim wording before publication.
How We Review a Food Supplement
Step 1: Ingredient Verification
We cross-reference every listed ingredient against the EFSA register of authorised health claims, EU Novel Food catalogue and UK Food Standards Agency guidance. Ingredients without regulatory standing are flagged clearly.
Step 2: Labelling Transparency Audit
We evaluate the product label for compliance with EU Regulation 1169/2011 (food information to consumers): ingredient list completeness, NRV declarations, allergen labelling and mandatory disclaimer text.
Step 3: Pricing & Value Assessment
We compare pricing, serving size and per-sachet cost against comparable products in the UK botanical supplement market to assess value for money transparency. No affiliate revenue influences our scoring.
Step 4: Structured Reader Feedback
Reader testimonials are collected via a structured form. Submissions are moderated for compliance: no disease claims, no unsubstantiated outcome statements, no comparative superlatives. Experiences are presented with an explicit disclaimer that individual results vary.
Step 5: CAP / EFSA Compliance Check
All editorial copy undergoes a final check against UK CAP Code rules on health, beauty and slimming claims and EFSA Regulation 432/2012. Any claim beyond the authorised EFSA wording is removed before publication.
Step 6: Review & Update Policy
All reviews carry a publication date. We revisit content when product formulations change, new EFSA opinions are published, or UK/EU regulatory guidance is updated. Outdated claims are corrected, not hidden.
The Larkfield Nutrition by the Numbers
What We Stand For
Transparency over hype
We believe the supplement industry is best served by honest, precise language. We state what nutrients do according to regulatory authorities - nothing more, nothing less.
No body shaming
We never use fear, shame or appearance-based pressure to promote products. Our tone is empowering and informative. Everyone reading our content deserves to feel respected.
Evidence-first editorial
We cite regulatory sources (EFSA, NHS, British Dietetic Association) rather than anecdotal claims or unverified studies. Where evidence is limited, we say so plainly.
Commercial honesty
This site sells Wellaray Coffee. We disclose that clearly. Our review reflects genuine editorial assessment of the product's ingredients, labelling and value - it is not paid advertising dressed as editorial.
