THE SHORT ANSWER

Match the actual product, population, outcome and follow-up. A citation that mentions a similar ingredient may not support the advertised claim.

What is useful to understand?

Create a simple comparison sheet: the product offered on one side and the intervention tested in the study on the other. Mark any differences. If the seller cannot explain why those differences matter, keep the uncertainty visible rather than assuming the products are equivalent.

What can you ask or do next?

  1. Check the original study methods.
  2. Look at meaningful outcomes, not just lab markers.
  3. Read harms, withdrawals and funding disclosures.

One more question

Does statistically significant always mean useful?

No. Ask about the size of the difference and whether it matters in daily life.
