Our Process

How We Review Products

We don't just rate products — we explain the criteria behind every review. Here's the structured process we follow.

Formula

We examine the overall formulation and ingredient transparency.

Ingredients

We investigate why individual ingredients are included.

Evidence

We consider available research and distinguish evidence from marketing.

Safety

We highlight relevant warnings and important considerations.

Value

We consider pricing, serving size and overall product positioning.

Transparency

We look at manufacturer information and product labelling.

What our ratings mean

Our ratings reflect how a product performs against the criteria above. They are not endorsements, and they do not guarantee any outcome for any individual. A higher rating means a product is more transparent and better positioned relative to its category — not that it will work for everyone.

What we don't do

  • We don't guarantee weight-loss or body-composition results.
  • We don't claim products treat, cure or prevent disease.
  • We don't accept payment to alter ratings or conclusions.
  • We don't present paid placement as independent editorial selection.

Important note

Reviews are educational. Always read the product label and consult a qualified healthcare professional before using any supplement. See our Medical Disclaimer.
