What Does It Really Mean to Be “Clinically Backed”? (And Why It Matters for Your Health)

You’ve probably seen the phrase “clinically backed” splashed across supplement labels, wellness ads, and skincare packaging. But what does it actually mean? Is it just a fancy marketing term—or is there real science behind it?

Spoiler: at Berkeley Life, “clinically backed” isn’t a buzzword. It’s the foundation of everything we do.

Clinically Backed = Tested and Proven

When we say “clinically backed,” we mean that our products (and the science behind them) have been put to the test in human studies. Not theories. Not hype. Actual research showing how dietary nitrates boost Nitric Oxide (NO) in your body.

And Nitric Oxide matters. It’s the molecule that helps keep your blood flowing, your energy up, and even your bedroom confidence strong.

The Science Behind Berkeley Life

Here are two studies that show exactly how Berkeley Life's dietary nitrate formular can impact your health and performance:

1. Better Circulation & Blood Pressure

A published study looked at how nitrate supplementation affects circulation and blood vessel health. The results? Nitrates helped improve vascular function and supported healthy blood pressure. Here were some findings:

• 28% Increase in blood flow in 90 days

• Decrease blood pressure in 90 days

Translation: Stronger blood flow, better endurance, and support for your long-term heart health.

2. Female Sexual Function (Pilot Study)

This 60-day pilot study explored how a plant-based nitrate formula (like ours) impacted female sexual function. Women who took the supplement reported improvements in areas like desire, lubrication, and overall satisfaction. Here were some findings:

• 83% reported enhanced orgasm

• 83% experienced reduced discomfort

• 75% reported improved desire

• 58% experienced increased lubrication

Translation: When blood flow improves, so does sexual wellness. It’s all connected—and Nitric Oxide plays a huge role.
