Science needs new standards

In a world with more shiny health gadgets, more easily-accessible data, and more novel supplements than ever before, why does it still feel so hard to take care of our health?

We know that in health as in life, more does not necessarily = better. When it comes to health, trust is what matters most.

That’s why our goal is to make Superpower the most trusted place for scientifically-sound health insights, clinically-validated products, and action plans.

The Superpower Research Team sits at the heart of that mission.

We translate complex science into clear, practical guidance—so you can make decisions with confidence.

Who we are

We’re a cross-disciplinary collective of physicians, scientists, and nutrition experts with backgrounds in functional medicine, radiology, data science, microbiome research, and cellular biology, working at the nexus of groundbreaking health and technology.

Core advisors include:

How we work

1. Observe the field

We continuously monitor scientific journals, new clinical trials, robust meta-analyses, and regulatory data across medicine, nutrition, and longevity science.

2. Grade the evidence

We score every claim about a new product or treatment against a clear, scientifically-validated hierarchy of evidence—from randomized, controlled trials and systematic reviews to cohort and mechanistic studies. Only robust, reproducible findings pass our threshold.

3. Connect evidence to action

Our researchers link each insight to measurable biomarkers, lifestyle factors, and interventions. Every recommendation in your Superpower plan covers both the “what*”* and the “why.”

4. Update continuously

The field of health moves quickly. Our team reviews, re-ranks, and updates our guidance in near-real time—feeding both our clinical model and our Superpower AI.

5. Share openly

We publish scientific essays on emerging health research with insights from our clinical teams. We are fully transparent when it comes to our methodologies and recommendations, sharing evidence summaries that are used to train our Superpower AI, the vetting reports used to select products for our marketplace, and any updates we make to our internal clinical frameworks.

Our seal of approval

When you see the words, “Reviewed by the Superpower Research Team,” it signals that the underlying science and sourcing have been reviewed against our standards for safety, evidence strength, and ingredient quality.

Look for this badge on:

  • Marketplace product pages
  • Health essays and newsletters
  • In-app recommendations
  • Partner materials and educational decks

Why this matters

Your body is sacred. Your safety is paramount. You are entitled to good health.

That’s what we believe, and that’s how we approach our work. We hold ourselves to the highest standard, and you should, too.

That’s how we will make health both safe and human.
