Supplement Scored Editorial Team
Independent Supplement Research
About
The Supplement Scored editorial team independently researches and scores dietary supplements using a transparent, four-pillar methodology. Every product in our database is evaluated on clinical evidence quality, third-party testing status, cost per clinically effective dose, and ingredient transparency.
Our evidence summaries draw from PubMed systematic reviews, Cochrane Library meta-analyses, NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheets, and Examine.com research summaries. Quality scores are verified against the USP, NSF Certified for Sport, ConsumerLab, BSCG, and Informed Choice databases. We calculate cost per clinically effective dose - the dose used in clinical trials, not the manufacturer's suggested serving - because price per pill is meaningless without dosing context.
Affiliate commissions never influence our scores. Many of our highest-rated products are from brands we have no affiliate relationship with. If a supplement does not work, we say so. If a popular product underdoses its active ingredient, we score it accordingly.

Affiliate relationships never influence scores. Every product is evaluated using the same four-pillar rubric regardless of brand partnerships.
