Every NutraRank supplement review

What we check on every supplement

We read the full Supplement Facts panel first. If a formula uses a proprietary blend that hides the individual doses, that costs it points, because you cannot tell whether an ingredient is present at a meaningful amount. Then we compare each active ingredient to the amount used in published human studies. An ingredient at a fraction of the studied dose is noted as such, even when the name on the label is impressive.

Why the dose matters more than the ingredient list

Two products can list the same herb and deliver very different things. The research behind a claim used a specific extract, at a specific dose, for a specific length of time. When a label matches that, the claim has a foundation. When it does not, the ingredient is mostly there for the label. We say which case a product is in.

What a NutraRank Score is, and is not

It is an editorial judgement on a five-point scale across ingredient evidence, dose versus studies, label transparency, value for money, and the guarantee. It is not an average of customer ratings, and we never publish an invented star average or review count. Each review also states plainly who a formula suits and who should skip it.

Supplements are not medicine

Nothing reviewed here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. If you have a diagnosed condition or take prescription medication, talk to your doctor before starting a supplement, especially formulas with herbs that can interact with blood pressure, blood thinning or hormone treatments.
