Science, Evidence and Claims
The supplement industry has a credibility problem and most of it comes down to claims that outrun the evidence. This section explains how Phytality evaluates health claims, what EFSA and GB nutrition regulations actually require, why we refuse to make detox claims and what our internal testing and evidence protocols look like. If you want to understand the rules behind every statement we make, this is the section to read.
