About Supp' Buddy
Independent supplement research. Every claim graded A through D. No affiliates, no sponsors, no supplement sales.
What this is
Supp' Buddy reads the studies and grades the claims. Every article on the site is backed by our grading rubric, the same one we'd use if our own money were on the line.
If you want to know whether a supplement actually works, you shouldn't have to sort through marketing copy, affiliate reviews, and studies that only made it into the blog post because they said yes. We do that part for you, show the sources, and grade what the evidence says.
Why we built it
Most supplement content is either academic papers nobody outside a research lab is going to read, or product pages pretending to be advice. Not much in between.
We wanted something honest without being unreadable, so we built our own grading system. We call it SB-EGS. It borrows from GRADE, NutriGrade, NESR, and the Oxford CEBM Levels of Evidence, then tunes those for actual consumer questions. Does creatine do anything for someone who isn't a 25-year-old lifter, that kind of thing.
What we don't do
- •We don't sell supplements. No affiliate links, no kickbacks, no "recommended brands."
- •We don't accept sponsorships or paid placements.
- •We don't give medical advice. The grades tell you how strong the evidence is. They don't tell you what to take.
- •We don't hide uncertainty. If the evidence is mixed, we say so and show you why.
The app
