    Clinical lens

    A clinical lens on adaptogens supplements

    Use this lane for compounds with deep traditional use and emerging modern evidence — and demand standardisation.

    Signal map
    • Standardisation determines bioavailability
    • Quality control is uneven across the industry
    • Traditional use is signal, not proof
    • Drug-herb interactions are real
    Decision questions
    • Is the standardisation listed?
    • Does this interact with anything I take?
    • Am I confusing tradition with evidence?
