  1. 01
    We read the label.

    The panel on the left is the one we evaluated, line by line.

  2. 02
    Every active, separately.

    All 2 actives checked against the clinical evidence: dose, form, and what the research actually shows.

  3. 03
    Then the formula as a whole.

    Doses, ratios, and how the ingredients work together. That assessment is the verdict above: "Strong evidence, strong dose".

  4. 04
    Earned, not bought.

    The verdict is public and identical whether or not a brand pays. A formula that does not clear the bar gets nothing.

  • Berberineabout 7 days of daily useBuilds with daily use

    In a placebo-compared trial, 8 healthy young adults took 1.5 g of berberine daily for 7 days before running an hour in 35 degree heat. Mean body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, thermal sensation and general discomfort during the run were all modestly lower with berberine than placebo. One small trial of 8 people.
