The Reference
Food comes first, and a supplement is what you reach for when the food cannot get you there. This is a plain-spoken look at where that line sits — and at how to read a label without being sold to.

What is in it
One hundred and forty-seven entries across nine categories, each with dosing, timing, interactions, and an honest account of the gaps in what is actually known.
A rating scale that never says no is not a rating scale.
Most free supplement content is funded by affiliate commissions on the products it reviews, which is why almost none of it will tell you that something does not work.
The scale
Ten compounds carry the Overhyped rating. I published those ten for free, before asking anyone for anything, because the rating you should care about is the one I did not enjoy assigning. A guide where everything scores well is a catalogue.
The Overhyped Ten is free and comes straight out of this guide — Tribulus, Garcinia, Raspberry Ketones, CLA, Forskolin, African Mango and four more, with the actual evidence for each and what to consider instead.
