How it works

From complicated research
to a clearer decision.

We look across the scientific evidence on supplement ingredients and translate it into simple, transparent scores—so you can see what the science says before you decide.

The process

We don’t follow one headline.
We follow the evidence.

01

Look across the research

We examine the broader body of scientific evidence—not one exciting study, influencer claim, or company headline.

Quality · consistency · relevance
02

Match it to your health goal

An ingredient can perform differently for sleep, strength, or brain health. We score the specific reason you might take it.

One ingredient · different answers
03

Separate the key questions

Efficacy, safety, and confidence are distinct. Keeping them separate makes important tradeoffs easier to see.

Works? · Safe? · How sure?
04

Show our work

Every conclusion connects back to the evidence, so you can explore the research and cross-check the answer yourself.

Transparent · traceable · current

The science score

One supplement.
More than one answer.

“Does it work?” is the wrong question. The better question is: does it work for what you want it to do?

Clearer by design

Three scores. No hidden tradeoffs.

A single overall rating can blur what matters. We keep the questions separate.

8.7Efficacy

Does the evidence suggest it works?

Summarizes how supportive the overall research is for a specific health goal.

8.9Safety

What does the evidence say about risk?

Highlights side effects, interactions, and concerns for particular groups.

Evidence strength

How sure are we?

Reflects the amount, quality, consistency, and relevance of the research.

What guides us

Built to inform.
Never to influence.

Our job is to make the evidence understandable—not to tell you what to buy.

01

No paid influence

Supplement companies cannot pay for a better score. We don’t manufacture or sell supplements.

02

Transparent by default

A score should never be a black box. We show the reasoning and sources behind it.

03

Designed to change

New trials, reviews, and safety findings can strengthen or weaken a score. That is science working.

04

Useful whether you pay or not

Premium supports continued research and additional tools. Paying never changes what the science says.
