Transparency · EU AI Act Article 50
AI Editorial Policy
Effective August 17, 2026. Last updated August 17, 2026.
This page is the sitewide (Layer A) policy for how Vital Peptide Health uses artificial intelligence when we research, draft, or illustrate magazine pages. It is not legal advice and it is not a medical protocol. Humans remain accountable for what we publish.
Purpose and legal frame
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the AI Act) includes transparency duties in Article 50. Readers should be able to see when a guide used AI assistance and when an image was AI-generated or AI-edited. This magazine is a US peptide-therapy publication; we still label AI work in the same visible way so the disclosure is not buried in a footer or in schema-only fields.
Where we use AI
- Research outlines, drafts, metadata, and internal-link checks for educational articles and clinic/vendor guides.
- Editorial illustrations. Those images carry a visible AI Edited badge, a caption that states AI origin, and a link to a raw/unoptimized file.
- Copy-editing for structure and consistency. AI does not replace source checks against first-party pages, FDA or other .gov documents, or indexed reviews such as PMC.
Human editorial control
We do not invent statistics, clinical trials, clinic star ratings, review counts, coupons, or first-person patient stories. Directory names on city pages are starting points to verify on a state medical board — not paid rankings. Peptide and compounding claims must match a named source or be labeled as education. Errors: info@vitalpeptidehealth.com.
How we label text
Ranking and guide pages show a visible house byline immediately under the H1: “This guide was produced with AI assistance. Editorial standards apply. This is education, not medical advice.” That line links here. We do not hide it with data-nosnippet, zero opacity, or off-screen CSS.
How we label images
- Visible AI Edited badge on or next to the delivery image (inline/article CSS, not a Tailwind-only overlay that may be missing from the static bundle).
- Visible caption stating AI origin.
- Link to the raw file so provenance tools can still read the original bytes.
Decorative canvases on the homepage are not ranking copy. Indexable headlines stay in HTML.
Medical and compounding limits
This site is education, not diagnosis, a prescription, or a pharmacy. FDA-approved drugs, compounded preparations, and research-chemical vials are different categories. See the medical disclaimer. AI must not write a forum dose as if it were a labeled indication.
