The source list, with the original bibliographic details intact.
The studies and registrations
The horse-sport analytical paper is the unusual starting point for this review. The other entries cover gut-cell signalling, rat tendons and wounds, human skin care, a small infusion pilot and full-protein eye-drop research.
I would begin that investigation with the experiment nearest the claim. A paper on detection, an animal healing study and a human trial ask different questions, even when a review cites them in the same paragraph. No entry below reports a controlled trial of the complete KLOW blend.
