What we check
Six things we look at in every product
Every review follows the same checklist, so products can be compared fairly.
01
Composition
Which plant extracts the product contains and whether their amounts are clearly stated.
02
Form and daily serving
Capsules, gel, drops or cream – and how much the manufacturer recommends per day.

How to use it

04
Manufacturer’s claims
What the manufacturer declares about the product – presented clearly as the manufacturer’s statements.
