Choosing supplements is a pain.

Every supplement claims to be better than the last.

They all claim to be backed by the latest scientific evidence.

They’re usually expensive.

Most don’t work.

However, there are some supplements that do work. The problem is that until now, it’s been hard to translate research into actionable, simple advice on what supplements are the most effective and offer you the best value.

In this podcast, you’ll learn how to use Examine.com's “Human Effect Matrix” to easily do your own research on what supplements are the most effective. Kurtis Frank, one of the co-founders of Examine.com, discusses how they created the Human Effect Matrix, and how you can use it to make wiser choices when shopping for supplements.
