10 pages, each grading the claims by what the studies found. How we grade.

SupplementsPine Pollen for Testosterone: Is It “Nature’s TRT”?An ad calls pine pollen “Nature’s TRT” and cites a 2024 study. We looked for it. Every claim, graded by the research.SupplementsBeef Organ Supplements: Is It “Nature’s Multivitamin”?Freeze-dried beef-organ blends sold as a multivitamin, checked against their own nutrition label and the research on colostrum and collagen.SupplementsBioCopper1 (MitoSynergy) for Fatigue: Does the Copper Work? GradedA copper–niacin capsule sold for tiredness. We read its own placebo-controlled trial: energy and fatigue moved about as much on the placebo.SupplementsMineral Powders and Trace Mineral Drops (Optimize Minerals): Worth It? GradedDaily mineral powders promise performance from “70+ ionic trace minerals”. What is true about mineral shortfalls, and what has never been tested.SupplementsTruHeight Review: Can Supplements Make Kids Taller? GradedTruHeight sells growth supplements for children. Its claim rests on a 28-child company pilot; a trial of 8,851 children found vitamin D did not add height.SupplementsShilajit (Manna): Testosterone, Strength and “91 Nutrients”Shilajit ads promise wellness from one sachet. Two small trials: higher testosterone in men 45–55, and strength in a subgroup. No trial of Manna.Foods & drinksHydrogen Water (Drink HRW): Does It Reduce Oxidative Stress? GradedHydrogen water is sold as an antioxidant. Pooled placebo-controlled studies found it did not lower the oxidative stress exercise causes.SupplementsEnergy Without Caffeine? C60 Gummies and Faura FoundationC60 gummies and a peptide-and-herb broth are sold for energy without stimulants. Neither has a study in people; the C60 lifespan story did not replicate.Devices & gearBarefoot Shoes and Socks (Konjoun SuperSocks): Stronger Feet? GradedMinimalist shoes gave somewhat stronger toes in pooled trials, at low certainty. Barefoot socks sold for feel and stability have no study.SupplementsChlorella for Recovery (RECOVERYbits)Pooled trials of several algae found modest gains in endurance and a muscle-damage marker. We found no study of RECOVERYbits.
