A structured monograph in Prometheus's bundled library. Its grades are the monograph's own reading of the evidence, not a peer-reviewed review.

Swap the two

Graded in both

Outcomes are matched by name. Two entries can describe the same outcome in different words, so one listed further down may still be graded in the other.

No outcome has the same name in both entries. They may still overlap under different wording — read the two lists below.

Graded only in Gymnema Sylvestre + Metformin: use with caution
