Clinical Collaborators & University Partners

At Posit Science, we stand behind our products because we know they work. Our claims are backed up by strong scientific evidence. We depend on a stable of leading researchers from universities around the world to test our products in rigorous clinical trials and publish the results in science journals. Our partners and their relevant studies include:
