About Us

Building Trust in Supplement Science

The Clinical Index exists because consumers deserve to know what the evidence actually says about the supplements they take.

Our Mission

The supplement industry has a transparency problem

Brands make claims like “clinically dosed” and “science-backed” without providing verifiable evidence. Consumers have no way to distinguish between genuinely effective products and marketing hype. Regulatory bodies are overwhelmed, and the few independent testing services that exist are slow, expensive, and opaque.

We built The Clinical Index to change that. Our mission is to make clinical evidence accessible, verifiable, and actionable — for brands that want to prove their products work, and for consumers who deserve to know the truth.

Radical Transparency

Open methodology, public scoring weights, no pay-to-play. Every score is reproducible and every citation is verifiable. We publish how we work because we believe trust is earned through transparency.

Scientific Rigor

PMID-verified citations, deterministic scoring, full-text analysis. Our AI agents retrieve real PubMed studies and our scoring engine uses fixed, auditable formulas — never LLM-generated numbers.

Actionable Intelligence

Not just scores, but recommendations for improvement. Every analysis includes dose adequacy breakdowns, evidence gaps, and specific steps brands can take to strengthen their formulations.
