  • Few moving parts on the label - easier to audit than a proprietary stack.
  • Tied to a high-scoring ingredient hub in our model.

Watch-outs

  • Buyers who want alignment with our ingredient hub bar
  • Anyone who wants explicit serving math
  • Shoppers who prioritize cleaner excipient lists and clearer wording on labels

Score summary

Total score

77/100

A reasonable middle-ground SKU: acceptable formula context and no glaring red flags in our rubric, but it is not a standout on every axis.

Scores are editorial heuristics from label structure, ingredient hub signal, transparency cues, rough value math, and conservative safety - not lab assays or prescriptions.

Computed with the v1 product rubric on each page load when DB scores are incomplete.

Score breakdown

Seven fixed lanes. Each is scored 0-100 and weighted into the total. Interpretations are plain-language, not clinical endpoints.

  • Ingredient quality / fit

    Strong fit with a solid published hub signal - or a clean single-ingredient SKU.

  • Dosage plausibility

    Serving size is clear and the stated amount sits in a typical band for this category.

  • Formula quality

    Neutral or partially specified - no strong bonus or penalty.

  • Additives & label (combined lane)

    Excipient burden and label-clarity heuristics look favorable versus typical SKUs - few red-flag add-ins in our read.

  • Transparency

    Sparse brand or label narrative in our file - treat marketing claims skeptically.

  • Value

    Middle of the road - check competitors before checkout.

  • Safety margin

    Conservative lane: pulls from hub safety when available and avoids extreme label doses.

Label & additive intelligence

Structured excipient lines on file drive these scores - not lab testing. Burden tracks sweeteners, dyes, fillers, and similar add-ins; clarity tracks vague wording and proprietary structures. The combined lane is what feeds your total score.
