Where the numbers come from

User reports. Thousands of first-hand accounts from health and supplement communities are read one by one, recording what people took, how much, and what happened.

Clinical research. Each substance is matched against PubMed — meta-analyses, randomized trials, and what those reviews concluded.

No hand edits. Every score is computed, every quote links to its source, and sponsors never touch the rankings. Full methodology
