Evidence-based grading system evaluating ingredients using clinical data and FDA-equivalent standards for informed health decisions.
From A to F, instant recommendations backed by peer-reviewed research.
The Efficacy Engine® is a revolutionary system that combines artificial intelligence with medical expertise to evaluate ingredients based on clinical evidence quality. Our grading system applies the same rigorous standards used for pharmaceutical medications to foods, supplements, and wellness products.
"From Grade A (Effective) to Grade F (Ineffective/Hazardous), every rating is backed by peer-reviewed clinical research, ensuring you make informed health decisions with confidence."
Our comprehensive evaluation considers study size, bias assessment, validity criteria, and consistency of outcomes across multiple clinical trials and meta-analyses. This ensures every recommendation is based on solid scientific evidence, not marketing claims.
Our comprehensive six-grade system evaluates ingredients based on clinical evidence quality, study size, bias assessment, and consistency of outcomes.

High level of reliable clinical evidence supporting its use. Multiple randomized clinical trials or meta-analysis including several hundred patients.
Some clinical evidence supporting its use; however, evidence is limited by quantity, quality, or contradictory findings.
Some clinical evidence showing ineffectiveness for a specific indication; however, evidence is limited by quantity, quality, or contradictory findings.
Very high level of reliable clinical evidence showing ineffectiveness. Multiple randomized clinical trials or meta-analysis with several hundred patients.
Very high level of reliable clinical evidence showing ineffectiveness or potential harm. Multiple randomized trials with hundreds to thousands of patients.
"The extent to which a specific intervention, procedure, regimen, or service produces a beneficial result under ideal conditions"
Medical Definition of Efficacy
The word "efficacy" is a term most commonly used in medicine with a specific meaning. It applies to prescription pharmaceuticals where claims are supported by extensive clinical studies that must pass FDA scrutiny before being certified as legitimate.
In a world of products unregulated by the FDA, the word has equal meaning but potentially greater importance as to the legitimacy of product claims. Food for Health is committed to providing unbiased product recommendations whose ingredients have efficacy and are legitimately effective.
Even in pharmacology, prescription medications may not have equal effectiveness from person to person. We rely upon physicians, pharmacists, and scientists to deliver the most likely results. Each person has their unique chemistry that affects the efficacy of pharmaceutical medications or the products we recommend.
Our Efficacy Engine uses graded medical evidence to provide a list of products that have the intended effect. Consumers are empowered with the knowledge as to what to expect the results could be, backed by rigorous clinical research and unbiased scientific evaluation.
