How We Research Supplements

Our evidence hierarchy for dietary supplements and prostate-health content.

Evidence hierarchy

For health questions, we prefer government health agencies, clinical guidelines, systematic reviews, peer-reviewed human trials and authoritative medical institutions. Merchant pages are useful for verifying what a seller currently claims, sells and promises—but not for independently proving efficacy.

Finished formulas vs ingredients

We do not assume a positive ingredient study proves a multi-ingredient commercial formula works. We look for dose, form, population and outcome relevance.

Commercial research

For price, guarantee, directions and current formula information, we check current merchant materials and clearly label those facts as merchant-provided.
