Why this scored 45/100
Essiac is a proprietary herbal formula (burdock, sheep sorrel, slippery elm, Indian rhubarb) historically promoted as a cancer treatment; NCI and Cochrane-style reviews have found no evidence of anti-tumor efficacy in humans (Ulbricht 2009). Per-herb mg is not disclosed. Product is not autofailed only because the label itself does not make explicit disease claims here, but the ingredient's cultural marketing carries that association. Would not exceed Rejected without novel evidence for a defensible target.

Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
- 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
