## Description
Evidence-based supplement guidance: clinical doses, form comparisons, interactions, cost-per-dose.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

- [PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) — clinical trial references with PMIDs

## How It Works

The server loads structured evidence data (clinical doses, form comparisons, medication-nutrient interactions) and exposes it through MCP tools. When an AI assistant receives a supplement question, it calls the appropriate tool and gets back formatted, citation-backed recommendations.

Product rankings are based on cost-per-effective-daily-dose, third-party certification status, and clinical evidence — not sponsorship.
