Examine.com Reviews 169

I'm an 81 year old retired professional electrical engineer. I am generally interested in all aspects of health, exercise and longevity. I read extensively on these subjects. It appears to me that Examine subjects them to the same level of scrutiny, but with much greater expertise than I have. I believe they are qualified and, more importantly, observing from a neutral perspective. I especially appreciate their "Our Take" summaries at the conclusion of their reviews: Instant valid perspective,

Examine.com takes an evidence- and science-based approach. There are so many half-truth, lies, and snake oil salesmen out there in the murky world of nutrition, supplementation, and health in general, it is wonderful to have Examine.com as a touchstone of clarity and truth!

Where else would you get unbiased condensed science? EXAMINE is gold.

I’ve been a long-time user of Examine.com, starting with their free resources and purchasing their guides years ago, which my husband and I still rely on today. For example, their supplement guide helped us significantly improve our sleep quality. The site has been my go-to reference for accurate, evidence-based information in a world full of misinformation—often as often as once or twice a week.

Recently, I gifted myself lifetime access to their membership, and it has been worth every penny. Examine.com is a vital resource for anyone interested in health, fitness, or longevity—whether you’re a medical professional, a health-conscious individual, or someone helping loved ones navigate the overwhelming world of wellness advice. My only request? More content on women’s health, especially in areas like perimenopause, menopause, and hormones. The science is catching up, and I trust Examine.com to lead the way. Thank you for your important work!

I purchased a Lifetime Membership in 2016. However, over time, the membership structure has changed, and I no longer have access to a significant portion of the data or services that were originally included. It appears I would need to purchase additional plans to regain access.

While I understand that businesses need to adapt and generate revenue, I feel it is important to bring this issue to public attention. When a "Lifetime Membership" is advertised, it creates an expectation that the promised benefits will remain consistent. I hope this feedback encourages greater transparency and adherence to such commitments in the future.

Incredible product. One of the best things I spend my money on as a physician and I've been using it almost a year now. I liked it so much I signed up as a lifetime member. Their staff is unbelievably responsive. They keep adding features that are so helpful all of the time (including AI search of the system). I use it almost daily for information on supplements that is so hard to find anywhere else.

This is my go to place for trusted health information. Such high standards: no AI, humans, quality breakdowns, lots of guides on major topics, and peer reviewed only. A must have for anyone serious about health.

I've been using Examine.com reserach for years now and it is my go-to for solid and well-researched health, nutrition and supplement information.

Their emails are also pretty much the only email I love reading every time it reaches my inbox! Always, informative, often entertaining and full of relevant and interesting information. Thank you to the team for your amazing work!

I am 69 years old. I was diagnosed with RA several years ago. I did not tolerate the medication that the MD tried me on, and I was hesitant to jump into another medication regime that came with so many unpleasant side effects. Keeping in touch with my rheumatologist, I searched for other treatment options, targeting ways to get my immune system modulated. I found some good sources of help (including Pub med) for addressing my food choices, exercise, sleep hygiene, stress management, supplement choices, etc. I have been fortunate to be successful, so far, in keeping my RA in remission; because of my success (symptoms subsided, my bloodwork improved), my rheumatologist gave me his blessing. I was so glad to come across the Examine site, which since I found it has been a solid source of information that I can turn to when I need to vet what I find on health strategies through personal research, or when I just want to know what their research has turned up regarding health.

Examine’s summaries of their research into the plethora of studies out there regarding how to be at a personal optimal state of health (using food, supplements, exercise, etc.) are so valuable to me in a variety of ways, because what they share on their site is all backed by well-done scientific research. When I’ve checked their site, I’ve had all of these experiences, at one time or another:
1. I felt validated in the practices I was using.
2. I was made aware of a few practices that I was using that were relatively pointless, according to science. So I stopped them.
3. I was made aware of new practices I could incorporate to remain healthy.
4. On their site I could find helpful information so that I could be more efficient with my health practices, either through the substitution, consolidation, elimination, trimming, or rearranging the way I was doing things.

I want to be clear that there is nothing on their site that says you can forget Rx meds and just “go natural.” My decision to manage my RA in the way that I do is a personal choice. If my health in that area starts to falter, I will attempt to augment my health strategies with medication prescribed by a physician. Regardless, the Examine site will continue to be one of my most trusted resources for health information. So, I’m dating my “experience” for today, but my experience with Examine started years ago, and as I said, it will continue.

The team at Examine is dedicated to providing a resource that tries to tackle the very complicated and miss communicated realities around supplements and health. Real people, with real commitment to trying to help us all get the most out of supplements and food. No BS, no click bait and example of how all journalism should be conducted. Pass the word, we need these folks to be successful!

Examine is one of the best sources to go to for many subjects.
It is evidence based and they’ve a fun but serious way of transferring information!
Also, very available when you contact them!

A wonderful source of medical-scientific information in the nutritional, nutraceutical and even phytotherapeutic sectors. A rational and methodological support for evaluating the correct solutions in one's professional activity and for correctly informing patients but also colleagues on how to rigorously evaluate a scientific publication by dismantling misleading or poorly proposed news, in short the well-known "fake news".
For me, an essential source of correct information and continuous updating.

I love the extensive, reputable, easy to understand research summaries Examine offers, with an option to dig deeper into actual data. The customer service department is responsive and accommodating. I just purchased a lifetime membership; I want this information available on my family’s health and maximum wellness journey.

Love examine! So concise, so easy to use. I love the free features. The evidence based knowledge you gain for personal or professional use is just amazing. So greatful for the team there putting this all together

I am so glad that I recently resubscribed to Examine.com. I’m really enjoying and appreciating the overhaul they did to their site. The way info is organized and presented is smart and appealing. It’s in more of an executive fashion which saves me time but I can also dive deep quickly if I want to. Also, I am serendipitously being exposed to interesting things that I might not have noticed or looked for. Well done!

The single best platform for non-biased up-to-date information regarding natural supplements and health optimization.

It can be hard to find unbiased and peer-reviewed based information on nutritional supplements.

Examine presents all sides of discussion and research on supplements, with detailed citations so users can dive deep into the original research.

If you don't have time to do detailed research yourself, Examine provides concise summaries of relevant information.

Excellent site, and very accessible

The information given is written clearly and removes misleading health/nutrition headlines to give you an evidenced based perspective that you can use to make intelligent and safe decisions for yourself. Even reading many peer reviewed health and nutrition research journals the conclusions of the studies are often difficult to make practical decisions about how to use the information given. Examine.com does a superb job of putting that information in a clear and easy to understand format that gives you more confidence in making decisions about the usefulness of the product or health practice for yourself.

Excellent unbiased information updated daily.
