Score summary
Total score
80/100
Cost per serving looks strong for this category, and nothing in the label story screams junk science - still match dose to your own goals and clinician input.
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
Certs, copy, or brand cues suggest above-average disclosure for a SKU page.
- Value
Price per serving looks favorable versus rough category anchors in our model.
- 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.

Product scores compress evidence context from the ingredient hub (when live), structured excipient lines, transparency cues, rough value math, and a conservative safety check. They are informational, not medical advice or a substitute for label photos and professional guidance.
This page is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always read the actual label, consider interactions, and talk to a qualified clinician about your situation.
