> the manufacturer's claims are likely to be a better guide than anecdotes

not really.

they're both equally poor.

even if the manufacturer has clinical trials, they often need to be treated with skepticism.

(Independent clinical trials are much better--the ones that the manufacturer uses to get approval often have undisclosed biases and the drug or whatever is often found to subsequently not be quite the wonder drug the first trials suggest)

I don't disagree. But probably still better than a few "it worked for me!" comments on the internet.
