Ingredient Guides

Start with ginkgo, bacopa and lion's mane, and distinguish research on an ingredient from evidence for a finished formula.

How we evaluate supplement claims

1. Identify the claim

We distinguish general wellness or structure/function language from claims about diagnosing, treating, curing or preventing disease.

2. Check the evidence

We prioritize authoritative health agencies and human research, and we flag uncertainty rather than converting it into a sales promise.

3. Keep formulas separate

Evidence about one ingredient does not automatically prove that a multi-ingredient product produces the same result.
