After finally deciding to purchase the…
After finally deciding to purchase the reviews/supplement guides from examine.com, I regret I did not do it sooner. Whether you’re looking to expand on your knowledge of nutrition for your own benefit, or for research/study purposes, you will not be disappointed. The reviews are very thorough, and to the point, including information you’d expect from a review of literature. This will definitely help those who don’t have time to read through multiple papers to keep up to date with the latest research, and also those who wish to learn more about nutrition for their own benefit.
Definitely recommend this product.
Pretty much great!
I was looking to get specific and to the point instructions on what supplements are the most likely to help me with my health issues. Having spent many days researching other scientific topics, I know how hard and time-consuming it can be, thus decided to pay someone to do it for me.
I figured it's a worthwhile investment, since it grants a lifetime access to all the updates that your team will make on the guide. Having all the new and old research summarised in a guide such as this every year is really valuable, in my opinion.
Overall I would say that I got almost exactly what I wanted from it, but I wish the guide was a bit more specific and less confusing.
Nutrition research made accessible
The whole area of nutrition, diets and dietary supplementation is riddled with hype, bogus claims, and a general lack of quality controls. Of course, the science does not always come up with a consensus. But a comprehensive, brilliantly organised, critical - and disinterested - approach to what it can offer is available through this resource. It is like having your own team of researchers constantly updating and evaluating all the relevant research in the area, rendering the science readily understandable and practical - and very often a wake-up call as to how to act and spend one's money more wisely.
I needed one source of unbiased and truthful assessments of supplement studies
I needed one source of unbiased and educated truth; I don't have the time nor, if I'm honest, the knowledge or skills to truly evaluate and compare the veracity of medical studies.
I wanted clear information I can use to evaluate whether I want to avail of a particular remedy or enhancement. And, since I take responsibility for my own health, having educated and unbiased eyes evaluating the claims to present the salient truths of what is touted is exactly what I was looking for.
Examine.com is like Consumer Reports - they are a trusted and valued source that is free from the influence of the corporate funders of nearly all the studies done on health issues. The pharmaceutical and supplement industries are masters of hyperbole and in many cases outright lies about what their products do or don't do. Examine cuts out the b.s. and gives me the bottom line on the claims.
Examine.com is an incredible source of logically reviewed and unbiased information - an awesome resource!
As a layperson wishing to gain more…
As a layperson wishing to gain more insight into health and fitness, and the impact of supplements on long-term health and also athletic performance, I have found Examine.com to be an amazing resource. The guides are well-written and comprehensive, and the personalized article summaries are fantastic. It can be a bit overwhelming, but I think it's the right level of filtering to stay abreast of developments in the science without drinking straight from the firehose, or getting the "science journalism" version (which often, when you look at the science, gets things completely backwards!).
I gave 4 stars in part because I couldn't give another half star, and in part because I haven't used the website long enough to commit to a higher recommendation. I also don't assess all of their summaries independently (if I had time, I wouldn't need this site), but the few times I've gone to the source, they seem to be spot on.

An excellent support for my work
An excellent support for my work and for scientific communication. Ideal for staying up to date while maintaining the right objectivity.
In Examine.com I have found very valuable information
I am a Naturopath and I use Nutritional Supplements to seek balance in people's Health.
In that sense, I was looking for a guide that would allow me to know which Supplements (Primary and Secondary) and in the correct doses, I should recommend to my patients.
In Examine.com I have found very valuable information that is strengthening my knowledge, which is not found anywhere else.
Thank you very much for your work ...
Keep going.

Great Resource for Dietitians
Examine is such a useful resource for finding updated evidence-based research that I can share with my clients and use for my blog articles as a private practice dietitian. They summarize the main points of each article so I don't have to spend as much time reading the entire article - big time saver! Some of my favorite features include the "RDPick" tag, which points out article summaries related to nutrition/health topics, and the "add to favorites" feature which allows me to save and keep track of all my favorite articles so I can easily find them when I want to go back and read them. Highly recommend!
Trustworth and factual information
A little background information about myself.
I used to be in the fitness industry as a personal training and was surprised about the amount of misinformation in circulation about not only fitness but also nutrition.
Shortly after, I completed a bachelor of biomedical science and gained enough skills in reading scientific literature through my degree and an additional Honours year. Enough to produce my own thesis and back up my claims with scientific evidence.
Since then, I've switched to the IT field but still have an interest in fitness and nutrition. Due to the lack of time and needing to stay well informed in my current industry, I needed information from the nutrition field that I could trust and from a company that held the same values of spreading factual information.
I had been using examine for a few years now and had originally purchased one of the guides (can't remember which one). It did a fantastic job at summarising the results found in the scientific literature while remaining engaging and free from bias.
The cherry on top was the transparency of the literature referenced and Examine's willingness to admit when at fault.
Since then, I purchased all the supplement guides and read through them all. I'm now a NERD member and wouldn't have it any other way.
A must before considering a supplement
Lots of people are looking to improve things through supplements. Many supplement companies make statements that are not backed by studies (or where the studies are highly questionable.) Examine is a great resource to look at what the science actually says about ingredients (they do not rate supplements but do review the underlying components). I highly recommend looking at Examine to check the ingredients for any supplement, before considering buying it.
Top-Notch Information & Customer Service
As an online health & fitness coach and personal trainer, I am always leveling up my knowledge and skills to better serve my clients. I have been looking for a reliable source on nutrition and supplements and found Examine to be an amazing resource. I trust Examine.

I highly recommend Examine to anyone who wants cutting-edge information on how to live an extraordinarily healthy life by incorporating foods and nutritional supplements that support greater performance and longevity.
