Evidence notes

Limited human clinical trials; most evidence is preliminary, in vitro, or from older small studies. Some support for odor reduction and wound healing in animal/limited human data, but insufficient robust RCT evidence for antioxidant or detoxification claims in humans.

Grade C: Mostly observational or small trials; mechanism is plausible but unproven at scale.
