Honored Medical Professionals and Researchers
The people behind the peer-reviewed studies in our research database
About This Page
The studies in the King Brand medical studies library were written by real researchers with verifiable careers in exercise science and medicine. This page presents those professionals: who they are, where they trained and worked, what they achieved, and their role in the studies we cite. Our goal is that the science we rely on is easier for everyone to trust by showing the people behind it.
Every statement on this page is traceable to a cited source (PubMed record, institutional profile, ORCID, or bibliometric database). Where a fact could not be verified, it is omitted rather than guessed. Profiles are date-stamped with their verification date and re-checked annually.
Relationship statement: King Brand utilized the individual's work in the development of our products and treatments. The study and all the professional's work was independent of King Brand - they did not work for us, nor were they compensated by us - it is truly independent. King Brand has relied on the results of this study, this individual's work, and the work and studies of others in the development of our medical solutions.
