The NutraBenchmark Standard

Not All Supplement Labels Tell the Same Story.

Two products can make almost identical claims while using completely different ingredients, forms and doses. That’s why we benchmark every product against the same criteria — and look beyond the front label.

01

Formula Quality

Does the formula make sense for its stated purpose?

02

Dose & Ingredient Forms

What exactly are you getting — and how much of it?

03

Evidence

What does the available research actually support?

04

Transparency

Are the doses, ingredients and product details clearly disclosed?

05

Value & Usability

Does the price and format make sense for everyday use?

The NutraBenchmark Score

One Score. The Same Yardstick for Every Product.

Every reviewed product receives a score out of 100, built from the same evaluation framework — formula, ingredient quality, transparency, value and usability.

The score isn’t designed to replace individual judgment. It’s a simple way to compare products against the same evaluation framework, so a “94” always means the same thing.

Scores reflect an editorial comparison of publicly stated formulas, doses and positioning against the same criteria — not laboratory testing of finished products.

What We Look For

What Separates a Good Supplement From a Good Label?

Meaningful doses

An impressive ingredient list means little if you don’t know how much you’re actually getting.

Better ingredient forms

The form of an ingredient can matter as much as the ingredient name.

Focused formulas

More ingredients don’t automatically mean a better product.

Clear transparency

You shouldn’t need detective work to understand what you’re taking.
