How we research a fast-moving supplement category without turning marketing into medicine.

Primary research

Sources used for this guide

Product details are checked against current merchant information. Health claims are evaluated separately against independent research.

Evidence hierarchy

For health outcomes we prefer systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials and other human evidence. Mechanistic, animal and cell research can provide context but is labeled accordingly. Product facts are checked against current merchant pages and COAs where available.
