INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD (IRB) PROTOCOL SERVICES
An allied service which can further support product claim substantiation is the Institute for Health Research's IRB service for clinical trials.
A clinical trial is the best evidence supporting claims, but the trial must start with a formal Protocol that meets IRB (Institutional Review Board) Informed Consent standards, or the results may not be eligible for publication and may be rejected as substantiation.
In collaboration with the Institute, SPI Associates provides assistance in preparing a clinical trial Protocol which will comply with IRB standards, designing the trial with the Principle Investigator (PI).
Unless you ask the right questions at the start the clinical trial will most likely not provide the data you need for legal substantiation.
