FAQ

Supplement Scholar is an independent, research-first reference for dietary supplements. Every profile links to peer-reviewed human studies so you can verify claims yourself instead of taking marketing copy at face value.

No. Supplement Scholar is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional. Always speak to your physician before starting, stopping, or combining supplements — especially if you take prescription medication.

We prioritize compounds with a meaningful body of human research (RCTs, meta-analyses, systematic reviews). Anecdotes and animal-only data may be noted as context but are not used to make efficacy claims.

Profiles are reviewed as new high-quality studies are published. You can also follow the comment thread on each supplement page to see community experience reports from signed-in users.

No. Supplement Scholar does not sell products and is not affiliated with any brand. The goal is unbiased reference material.

Yes — use the Contact page. Tell us the compound name and, if you can, link a study or source. We review every submission.
