Strong evidence

Promising but early
The evidence is interesting but not mature enough for strong practical claims. Findings may show initial promise, but more research is needed before health recommendations can be made.

Not human evidence
This grade means that the claim is based on evidence from non-human studies, such as animal experiments or cell cultures. These findings are important for scientific research, but they do not show proven effects in humans.
