Our methodology
No faith required
01
Primary literature only
Every efficacy claim links directly to PubMed. We summarise — you verify. No second-hand sources, no cherry-picking. If the study is weak, we say so.
PMID citations on every claim
02
Live evidence ratings
Evidence tiers are updated quarterly. When a meta-analysis changes the picture — even if it weakens the case — the rating changes. We don't hide unflattering results.
Quarterly review cycle
03
Full safety database
Drug interactions, hepatotoxicity signals, contraindications — all documented. We list herbs we don't sell because the risk profile is unclear. Transparency is the product.
ISO/IEC 17025 COA on every batch

Your phenotype
is a protocol
Bone density. Collagen synthesis. DHT modulation. Testosterone-to-cortisol ratio. Chinese medicine has been working on these levers for two thousand years. We've mapped the mechanisms.
