How We Review

🔬

Evidence First

Every recommendation is backed by human clinical data, not just animal studies or mechanistic plausibility. We consider dose, study design, and known limitations.

💰

Value Bar

We list price ranges and flag when a cheaper alternative is nearly as good. Expensive doesn’t mean better — we call it out when it matters.

🚫

No Filler

We don’t pad lists with mediocre products. If only one or two options genuinely clear the bar, that’s what we list.
