The Science Behind CleverPro

Studied ingredients. Serious doses.

CleverPro is built around premium branded ingredients, human research and research-informed dosing. We are not interested in label decoration. Ingredients need a reason to be in the formula — and enough of them to matter.

Research Before Rhetoric

It is not just what's inside. It's how much.

The supplement industry is full of recognizable ingredients used at amounts that look better on a label than they perform in the real world. CleverPro approaches formulation differently: select purposeful actives, study the research and formulate around meaningful use rather than ingredient-count theater.

The CleverPro Dosing Standard

Enough to put on the label isn't enough.

Research

Start with human data.

We prioritize branded and standardized ingredients with human research behind their intended use.

Dose

Formulate to matter.

Ingredient selection is only half the job. The amount used needs to be purposeful, research-informed and relevant to the formula.

Transparency

No proprietary mystery.

Every active ingredient and dosage is disclosed so you can understand what you're actually taking.

Purpose

Every ingredient earns its place.

More ingredients do not automatically create a better product. We would rather use fewer actives meaningfully than build a crowded label.

Ingredient-level research is different from a finished-product clinical trial.

The studies summarized below investigated branded ingredients, standardized botanical actives or their underlying compounds. Unless specifically stated otherwise, these studies were not clinical trials of Carbivore or Heatwave as finished products. Populations, protocols, study doses and outcomes vary.

Carbivore

Built around carbohydrate metabolism.

Carbivore features Chromax®, InnoSlim® and GlucoVantage® — premium branded ingredients selected for research involving glucose metabolism, metabolic function and bioavailability.*

Branded Chromium Picolinate

Chromax®

Chromium picolinate
Research-Informed Dose
Human Clinical Research

Metabolic and glucose-related outcomes

Human Clinical Data
Branded Ingredient

Chromax® is a branded form of chromium picolinate that has been investigated in human metabolic research. Findings vary by population and protocol, which is why we look beyond individual headline claims when evaluating the ingredient.

The CleverPro Evidence Standard

Science is more than a percentage on an ad.

Priority

Human Research

We prioritize evidence generated in people when evaluating how an ingredient may fit a formula.

Priority

Efficacious Dosing

A recognizable ingredient is not enough. The amount used should be purposeful, research-informed and relevant.

Priority

Branded Forms

Standardized branded ingredients help connect the material used in the formula to a defined research history.

Priority

Full Transparency

No proprietary blend smoke screen. Consumers should be able to see the active ingredients and amounts they are taking.

The CleverPro Standard

Clinically studied ingredients. Formulated to matter.

The difference between a good-looking Supplement Facts panel and a serious formula comes down to what you use, why you use it and whether the dose has a reason to be there.
