How I work
Every guide here starts from a question a real person types into a search box, not from a product I want to sell you. I answer it in the first paragraph, then show the work.
When I mention research, I name it: the author, the journal and the year, so you can go and read the same thing I read. When a well-known ingredient underperformed in the large trials, I say so, because you will find that out eventually and I would rather you found it here. And when I compare a formula to the research, I compare the amount on the label with the amount used in the study, which is the only comparison that means anything.
What I will not do is tell you a capsule replaces a check-up. If you have symptoms that are changing, that is a conversation with a doctor, and no supplement changes that.
