Review section[edit]

This is a 2006 promotion with numerous issues noted on talk over a long period of time. These include biomedical claims that need MEDRS-compliant sources. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:00, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

PMID 25072266 could be addressed for comprehensiveness. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:21, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

PMID 23538079 needs to be examined for MEDRS. Adverse effects per PMID 23472485 should be discussed. PMID 22432635 and PMID 23971874 are not used.

There are numerous harv ref errors, so it's unclear which sources are being used without checking one by one. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:41, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delist. Tagged as dubious in the lead and for citation needed in the first section. Entire paragraphs, which are full of peacock and weasel words such as "strongest", "very high quality", "real", "undermining", "extremely", "poorest", "finest", "greater", and "typically", are unattributed.
