Our methodology
No faith required
01
Primary literature only
Every efficacy claim links directly to PubMed. We summarise — you verify. No second-hand sources, no cherry-picking. If the study is weak, we say so.
PMID citations on every claim
02
Live evidence ratings
Evidence tiers are updated quarterly. When a meta-analysis changes the picture — even if it weakens the case — the rating changes. We don't hide unflattering results.
Quarterly review cycle
03
Full safety database
Drug interactions, hepatotoxicity signals, contraindications — all documented. We list herbs we don't sell because the risk profile is unclear. Transparency is the product.
ISO/IEC 17025 COA on every batch

What are you optimising for?
Each goal maps to curated herbs with evidence ratings, dosage guidance, and a complete safety profile.
For the optimisers
Your phenotype
is a protocol
Bone density. Collagen synthesis. DHT modulation. Testosterone-to-cortisol ratio. Chinese medicine has been working on these levers for two thousand years. We've mapped the mechanisms.

Compliance
Ships clean, every time
Every shipment includes a full documentation stack: binomial ingredient declarations, ISO/IEC 17025 COA, GMP certificate, and HS tariff code pre-printed on the outer carton. We've solved the customs problem.
Quality
Standardised extracts only
We sell standardised extracts — not raw herbs. Every product declares its active compound percentage. You know exactly what you're getting, in exactly the form studied in the clinical trials we cite.
Transparency
We publish what we don't sell
Our database includes herbs we've reviewed and decided not to stock — Aconite, Aristolochia, raw He Shou Wu. Those decisions are documented and public. Transparency is not marketing — it's the product.
