The Problem We're Solving
The supplement industry is a mess. You've got companies making wild claims with no evidence, influencers pushing whatever pays the highest commission, and an overwhelming amount of conflicting information.
Want to try Lion's Mane for focus? You'll find thousands of products, dozens of conflicting opinions, and no clear way to separate quality from junk. Should you get fruiting body or mycelium? What about beta-glucan content? Does it even work?
We've been there. And we got tired of it.
Our Mission
"To provide clear, research-aware guidance on plant extracts — helping people understand what works, what doesn't, and what's worth their money."
What We Do
ExtractInc is an educational resource covering nootropics, adaptogens, functional mushrooms, essential oils, CBD, and other botanical extracts. We:
- Research the science: We dig into published studies, not just marketing claims
- Analyze products: We look at lab reports, ingredient quality, and company reputation
- Write honest guides: No miracle claims, no paid placements disguised as reviews
- Keep it practical: Dosing, timing, what to expect, and product recommendations
Our Values
Evidence Over Hype
We prioritize research and honest assessment over trendy claims. If the evidence is weak, we say so.
Transparency
We disclose affiliate relationships clearly. Our recommendations are based on quality, not commission rates.
Accessibility
Complex topics explained in plain language. No jargon gatekeeping, no unnecessary complexity.
Continuous Learning
Research evolves. We update our content as new evidence emerges and aren't afraid to change our minds.
What We Don't Do
To be clear about our limitations:
- We're not doctors. Nothing on this site is medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional for personal health decisions.
- We don't sell supplements. We recommend products via affiliate links, but we don't manufacture or sell anything directly.
- We don't accept paid reviews. Companies can't pay for favorable coverage. Period.
- We don't cover everything. We focus on natural plant extracts with some research behind them — no prescription drugs or unregulated research chemicals.
How We Make Money
Let's be upfront: ExtractInc is a business. We earn money primarily through affiliate marketing — when you click our links and make purchases, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
This model works because our interests align with yours: we only succeed when we help you find products worth buying. If we recommended garbage, you wouldn't trust us, and we wouldn't have a business.
