Score summary
Total score
72/100
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. Value uses a neutral baseline when price or servings are missing.
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
Parseable, but the dose line is vague, edge-case, or hard to map to common use.
- Formula quality
Forms we flag as weaker for the category (e.g., magnesium oxide) or under-specified blends.
- Additives & label (combined lane)
Mixed or moderate: some fillers, flavors, or structure flags - read the label intelligence block below.
- Transparency
Average retail transparency - verify on your own label photos.
- Value
Weak price-per-serving versus peers we track, or value data was thin.
- 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.
