Mission Statement

Examine analyzes and summarizes the latest scientific research to help you be healthier.

What Is Examine?

Examine is the largest database of nutrition and supplement research on the internet. We have more than 30 researchers on our team, with half working full time for Examine.

Examine’s mission is to analyze the full body of evidence to help you be healthier. As an educational organization, we are not affiliated with any supplement or food company, and our research team is contractually obligated to have no conflicts of interest.

All of our evidence summaries are fully referenced, on topics ranging from popular supplements like fish oil and vitamin D to the more controversial nutrition topics like soy or saturated fat.

We also take an evidence-based approach to common questions our readers ask, such as the optimum amount of daily protein, and the evidence (or lack thereof) for common nutrition myths and fads such as detoxes.

At Examine.com, we’re not here to tell you what to do. Instead, we simply tell you what the evidence says. And in cases where the research is mixed, we make that clear, too.
 

How is Examine funded?

Examine is an entirely independent organization, and does not accept any money from outside sources.

For the vast majority of nutrition websites, revenue is directly proportional to pageviews or products sold—whether they be supplement bottles or diet plans. Thus, rather than an evenhanded and thorough interpretation of the evidence, for many websites, sensationalism sells (read more on sensationalism).

Rather, 100% of our revenue is generated from additional research syntheses that we sell to both health professionals and laypeople. All of the information on the website is freely accessible; these additional informational products are meant for those looking for added depth and step-by-step instructions.
 

We do not allow:

• Donors
• Sponsors
• Consulting clients
• Advertisements
• Affiliations
   

We have a very strict no-gift policy for our staff members. Even books that are sent our way are simply deposited into recycling.

How and why did Examine start?

Examine is our answer to a fundamental problem: given that nutrition science is incredibly complex and constantly evolving, how can you separate the wheat from the chaff? If a website cites a study, how do you know it’s not cherry-picked or, on the flipside, methodologically flawed?

In other words, who can you trust to be completely objective?

We decided to address this problem by building a systematic and objective database, free from advertising or industry partnerships. We never start with an objective, like low-carb or high-carb, pro-supplement or anti-supplement. Rather, we simply report on all the evidence that’s been published.
