Who are we?

The iLive "I live! Ok! :)" portal is an information resource that provides users with the most useful information about all aspects of life that are important to a person, such as health, family and children, beauty and fashion, nutrition and diets, relationships, sports and of course the most interesting news!

Considering that we are an information resource about human health and its healthy lifestyle, we understand the importance of this area of knowledge and its degree of influence on human life and health.

We strive to be an authoritative resource in the field of medicine, with a good reputation and user-friendly content.

We are referred to by many reputable and independent sources, including Wikipedia.

Therefore, despite the fact that the information published on the portal is intended for reference only and should not be used without consulting a specialist, we set high standards for the quality of our content. All iLive content is reviewed by medical experts to ensure the highest possible accuracy and consistency with the facts.

We have strict rules on the choice of sources of information and we refer only to reputable websites, academic research institutes and, if possible, proven medical research. Please note that in the materials the numbers in brackets ([1], [2], etc.) are interactive links to such studies.

Detailed information on content requirements and editorial policy of the site can be found in our Rules and Policies.
