“Clinically studied” can mean anything from a rigorous randomised controlled trial to a single small study funded by the seller. The words that matter are sample size, control group, dose, and independence.
What to look for
When evaluating a supplement claim, ask these questions:
- Sample size — Was the study conducted on 12 people or 1,200?
- Control group — Did it include a placebo comparison?
- Dose — Was the dose used in the study the same as what’s in the product?
- Independence — Was the study funded by an unbiased third party?
At Queens Care we start from a real need, formulate around a meaningful dose, and test independently for purity. This piece walks through the questions worth asking before any product earns a place on your shelf.
