Not medical advice
Nothing on this website is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent a disease, or to replace advice from a GP, pharmacist, dietitian or other qualified professional.
Individual circumstances
Nutrition needs and risks vary with age, health conditions, medicines, allergies, pregnancy, activity and personal history. A general article cannot account for all of these factors.
When to seek help
For symptoms that concern you, changes that persist, or questions about medication and supplements, contact your GP or an appropriate NHS service. In an emergency, call 999. For urgent but non-life-threatening medical advice in England, call NHS 111.
Information date
This disclaimer was reviewed on 5 October 2026. Novalus may update pages as guidance and evidence develop.
This disclaimer applies to articles, guides, captions, newsletters and other general information published by Novalus. It is written for readers in the United Kingdom and may not reflect the rules, services or clinical pathways in another country. The publication date and review date should be considered before relying on a page.
Information on the site is prepared from publicly available sources and editorial research, but it may contain omissions, interpretation or errors. A later update may change a passage without changing the address of the page. Readers should check current guidance from an appropriate UK public service or qualified professional when a decision could affect their personal circumstances.
Novalus does not assess a reader, interpret test results, review a medicine list or provide an individual care plan. A food or ingredient mentioned in an article is not a recommendation to purchase a product, change prescribed care or disregard advice already received. Personal allergies, interactions, pregnancy, age and existing conditions can materially change what is suitable.
General descriptions of nutrition and wellbeing are not a substitute for a consultation. If a clinician, pharmacist, dietitian or other qualified professional gives advice that differs from an article, follow the advice that takes account of your personal record and ask questions if anything is unclear.
Readers should not delay seeking help because of something read on Novalus. Call 999 for a life-threatening emergency. For urgent but non-life-threatening medical advice in England, NHS 111 is available; readers elsewhere in the UK should use the relevant local service. The site does not monitor symptoms or provide emergency response.
Links to NHS pages, public bodies, research, retailers or other organisations are provided for context and convenience. Novalus does not control their availability, accessibility, privacy notices or subsequent changes. Any commercial relationship or sponsored placement, where applicable, is identified separately from general editorial information.
Questions about a factual statement can be sent to the editorial desk at the registered address or by telephone. Include the page title, relevant passage and source that supports the concern. We aim to acknowledge messages within five working days and assess a correction or clarification within 15 working days.
Change record: 5 October 2026 — disclaimer reviewed and expanded to explain scope, limitations, individual context, urgent services, external links and correction requests.
Readers should also consider the date, source and purpose of each page. An article about a broad food pattern may be useful for background reading but cannot establish what is appropriate for a particular person. Information from another country may use different terminology, thresholds or public services and should not be assumed to apply in the UK.
Novalus does not receive a complete medical history from ordinary website use and cannot check whether a reader has followed, understood or safely applied information. References to ingredients are descriptive and are not an invitation to use a product in place of professional guidance. If a reader is unsure whether an article is relevant, pausing and asking a qualified professional is the appropriate next step.
External services may process information under their own terms when a reader follows a link or contacts them. Their availability, response times and accessibility are outside Novalus’s control. We try to use stable, reputable sources and may update or remove a link when the destination changes materially.
Requests for factual review should be sent to 27 Elmwood Lane, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, CV37 6BB, United Kingdom, or by telephone on +44 161 893 7201. Please include the page title, URL, passage and supporting source; avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information. We aim to acknowledge a report within five working days and provide an initial response within 15 working days.
Records of a correction request and decision may be retained for up to six years where required to explain an editorial change. Routine feedback is normally deleted within 12 months after the matter is closed. The change record for this disclaimer is maintained so readers can understand when its scope and limitations were last reviewed.
