Clinical Evidence

The evidence, not the hype

Every treatment we offer, graded on what the published research shows — with links to the studies.

Graded by Ahmed Abdeen, MD

The grades below are a researcher's read of the literature, not a marketer's.

Fulbright-Fogarty research fellow, Yale School of Medicine · 12 peer-reviewed publications · Howard E. Morgan Research Award
Strong

Large, well-designed randomized trials — often the basis for FDA approval.

Moderate

Randomized trials and meta-analyses point the right way, with real caveats.

Emerging

Early or mixed studies — promising signals, but not yet settled science.
