Read full guide →Our Research Approach
Every guide on this page follows the same methodology:
PubMed-First Research
We start with peer-reviewed clinical trials and systematic reviews, not manufacturer claims or influencer endorsements. Every recommendation cites specific studies.
Dose Verification
We compare the doses in commercial products against clinically effective doses from research. Many products contain ingredients at doses far below what studies used.
Conflict-of-Interest Checks
We flag studies funded by supplement manufacturers, check for proprietary blends that hide actual doses, and note when evidence comes from only a single research group.
Honest Ratings
Our average product rating is 4.1 out of 10. We are not afraid to give low scores. If the evidence does not support a product, we say so.
