It seems that every segment of healthcare in the US is incentivized to push pills, surgeries, or... insert your favorite healthcare service. The $39B supplements industry is particularly plagued by weak claims. Every brand seems to market how their supplement is "scientifically proven" to have some incredible benefit, when a holistic view of the evidence often shows otherwise.
We built Savvy.Care based on holistic evidence reviews and good incentives. In our evidence reviews, we look at what all the well-designed studies say, and we only recommend a product when the majority of studies are supportive. For incentives, we have structured ourselves so that we don't profit off any individual supplement. Instead, we make money off of affordable vitamin plans that we keep as reasonably priced as possible. This allows us to review the evidence and say what works and what doesn't, without worrying that we'll lose profit.
We believe the healthiest multivitamin is the one that focuses only on the good ingredients at the right dosage and omits the bad ingredients. As obvious as this is, most multivitamins are packed full of unnecessary or risky ingredients that take space away from the good ingredients (see multivitamin facts). Our multivitamin packs focus on the right ingredients for you.
We also believe what most doctors and nutritionists will tell you: the key to a healthy diet is to eat nutrient-dense foods as your primary source of nutrition. The role of supplements is primarily to plug gaps wherever the evidence shows that there is benefit. We follow this principle in our recommendations by considering whether your diet may be deficient in a given ingredient.
Finally, we believe that most supplements are supported by weak evidence. In the words of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, "the routine and indiscriminate use of micronutrient supplements for the prevention of chronic disease is not recommended, given the lack of scientific evidence." The few that are well supported are covered in our evidence review and in our supplement recommendations, which you can start here.
The supplements we offer are all NSF certified and 3rd party lab-tested for quality and safety. In fact, for each product, you can request a certificate of analysis showing the 3rd-party lab test results for your batch.
Furthermore, our products are made in American, FDA-registered facilities that are cGMP compliant. Each facility is temperature and humidity controlled and run by OSHA-certified employees.
