Convincing evidence
-
New researches are flying around us, but we don't just take over everything. The Wheel of Five does not follow trends or hypes and separates the wheat from the chaff. We don't take any risks. Only when there is enough evidence that a product (group) or ingredient is healthy, we will include it in the Wheel of Five.
