Methodology
What “evidence level” actually means
This isn’t an in-house meta-analysis: it’s a ranking anchored to the EU health-claims register, which holds 63 authorised wordings in our frozen table. An active is never “promising in our view” — it either carries an authorised claim, or it carries none.
- Strong evidence
- The effect has been assessed by EFSA and the claim is authorised in the EU register, at a specific dose. We show the official wording, word for word, with its condition of use.
- An authorised claim covers a physiological function — not a cosmetic promise, and not a guaranteed result for you.
- Moderate evidence
- The active is widely studied and its use is established, but it carries no authorised claim at the dose we serve — or the claim exists for another nutrient in the same product.
- So we attach NO claim to it. The page stays factual: name, active, dose.
- Emerging evidence
- Data is preliminary or conflicting, or the item is served as a gesture (ritual, accessory) rather than for a measured effect.
- We say so rather than hide it. An emerging-evidence item is never presented as one that works: if you like it, good; if it changes nothing, we promised you nothing.
The register is publicly available (EU Regulation 432/2012 and subsequent). Our table reproduces authorised wordings word for word: a text that isn’t in it is rejected by the compliance gate, and the product ships with no claim rather than a softened one.
Manufacturing & proof
Made to the strictest standards.
We cut no corners. Our products are made by certified partner laboratories in Europe and the United States. We curate the formulas and publish the doses; the manufacturing follows industry standards — audited and documented.
Food supplements
- Made in the USA in FDA-registered facilities
- cGMP-certified manufacturing (Good Manufacturing Practice)
- Certificate of Analysis (CoA) per batch — lab test results
- Select partner manufacturers NSF-certified (third-party control)
Cosmetics & skincare
- Made in the European Union under ISO 22716 (cosmetics GMP)
- Quality audited by Bureau Veritas
- Cosmos Natural / Cosmos Organic certified options
- Vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free formulas
Facility registration with the FDA attests to compliance with the applicable regulation; it is neither an approval nor an endorsement of the products by the FDA. Food supplements are not medicines and do not replace a varied, balanced diet.
