Evi investigates
The questions behind the cart.
Long reads on the claims everyone is repeating, with every source attached.
Investigation / Devices
Do red light masks actually work?
Real mechanism, modest home results, high price. Only worth it if you'll genuinely use it several times a week.
Read the evidence →Radar / This week
What TikTok made us research this week
Rosemary oil instead of minoxidil: Rosemary oil regrows hair as well as pharmaceutical minoxidil.
Radar / Strong evidence
Is creatine worth it for women?
Strength and lean-mass benefits are among the best-supported in sports nutrition, including in women. The cognition findings are much earlier and mostly in sleep-deprived or stressed states.
Investigation / Sleep
Does magnesium help you sleep?
Low risk, mild benefit. Helpful as part of a wind-down routine; not a treatment for real insomnia.
Worth the hype?
Viral, investigated.
The products your feed won't stop recommending, checked against the research.
