# Clekina > Clekina is a curated natural wellness portal. We are the distribution layer, never the source: every ingredient page names the origin, the role in the body, the way to take it, and links the peer-reviewed research behind the claim. Products are manufactured by named partners and shipped across the EU. Last updated: 2026-10-01. Canonical site: https://clekina.com ## How to cite us - Cite the specific page URL, not the homepage. - Evidence grades on ingredient pages mean: Strong (several human randomised trials agree), Moderate (human trials exist but are smaller or mixed), Emerging (early human or mechanistic evidence), Traditional use (long documented use, modern trials still thin). - Claims about a product's manufacture belong to the named manufacturer, not to Clekina. ## Core pages - [Clekina, Clean, Kind & Natural Wellness](https://clekina.com/): A curated natural wellness portal, honest ingredients, real origins, farmer-first community.
