Evidence tiers

Each benefit or side effect is rated by how much evidence exists — studies + community reports combined.

🏆 Gold

5+ studies and 500+ community reports. The most well-established evidence available.

🥈 Silver

2+ studies and 200+ community reports. Solid, reproducible evidence with meaningful community backing.

🥉 Bronze

1+ study or 100+ community reports. Early research with growing support.

🔬 Emerging

50+ community reports but no formal studies yet. Patterns observed by users, awaiting research.

💬 Anecdotal

Fewer than 50 reports, no formal studies. Very early or individual observations only.

Tiers are auto-calculated from linked studies and community reports. Always consult a healthcare professional before changing your routine.

Evidence levels

Each linked study is rated by the quality of its research methodology, independent of quantity.

Strong evidence

Multiple RCTs or meta-analyses. The gold standard of clinical research — controlled, repeatable, and peer-reviewed.

Moderate evidence

Single RCT or multiple well-designed observational studies. Solid methodology with some limitations.

Preliminary

Early-stage research — small trials, pilot studies, or limited data. Promising but not yet conclusive.

Weak evidence

Very limited formal research — animal studies, case reports, or mostly user observations.

Evidence levels are assessed per study by our research team. A single strong study can still have limited reach — see evidence tiers for the full picture.
