Evidence map: Metabolic health

Explore clinical evidence across blood sugar, insulin response, blood lipids, and body weight.

Across 82 ingredients and 7 outcomes, this map shows 211 studied pairs covering 518 distinct clinical trials.

Where cells are blank, the (ingredient, outcome) pair has not been studied — 363 such gaps remain on this map.

Methodology

Each studied pair shows its V2 verdict, GRADE certainty, contributing-trial total, and source evidence. Where an audited standardized effect is available, the receipt shows the estimate and its confidence interval when available. Generated 2026-07-30 from 518 contributing trials.
