These disclaimers are an easy way out.

Your product is clearly marketed & positioned as a health/medical product. With clear medical benefits for the use of your product. Even mentioning cancer and such.

As well as having clear recommendations in your blog what clients can do to bring their inflammation down.

It's then also your responsibility if these recommendations are effective and not harmful.

I understand it might be needed for legal, but then it also would be better to reframe your proposition.


thank you!


Yes! Our plan is to expand into additional biomarkers in the future


Thank you!!

Based on an initial scan of the publications below it seems like it would but I haven't had a chance to review the robustness of these publications yet so don't want to officially claim this yet :)

vegan diet: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33303765/

intermittent fasting: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S08999...


Lifestyle changes including those related to nutrition, exercise, stress, and sleep can all improve inflammation levels. See our blog for a list of lifestyle interventions associated with decreased inflammation levels: https://www.begolden.online/post/lifestyle-interventions-ass...

Each person will respond differently so we suggest testing what works best for you.


Great comment! We believe there is a future where continuous inflammation testing will be possible. Here's a team already working on building it: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/admt.2021013...

To your point, we see it as a potentially tighter feedback loop for seeing the impact of lifestyle changes.


We think so! We have started to see teams working on this and couldn't be more excited: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/admt.2021013...


The frequency of measurement is up to you. The more you test, the more detailed your data and insights are. Based on the data from clinical studies, some interventions can change inflammation levels (as measured by hsCRP) within weeks and others show within months. As such, we recommend testing every 1-2 months to likely provide adequate time for change to your levels. Each person’s needs and time to impact will vary, so adjust this frequency up or down, depending on what works best for you. See our blog to see how our CEO’s levels have changed over time: https://www.begolden.online/post/our-ceo-s-hscrp-scores-over...


Yes. Email me at founders@begolden.io


Unfortunately, regulatory reasons but I believe we should be able to ship to NY by next year!
