Effectiveness rated 72 due to multiple small RCTs (e.g., 5g PGX reduced hunger by 20-30% VAS scores over 3 days in overweight women; postprandial glucose lowered by 20-30% in OGTT studies) supporting blood sugar and appetite claims, but systematic review of 8 RCTs (n=258) found no sig weight loss (-0.61kg NS). Safety high at 94 as studies report only mild, transient GI issues at 5-15g/day, with animal tox safe up to 5% diet. Quality 75 for ISURA testing but absence of USP/NSF and proprietary rat
