What to check on the label

  • Whether the milligrams describe the whole extract or the standardised compound (for example '500 mg turmeric extract' versus '475 mg curcuminoids').
  • Delivery wording such as liposomal or phytosome changes the carrier, not the labelled amount.
  • For glutathione and sulforaphane, check whether the label lists the compound itself or a precursor (glucoraphanin, NAC).

Amounts are per label serving as recorded in the catalog and are not a recommendation. Testing status reflects what the brand lists. Nothing here is medical advice.

Evidence gates dose: the evidence grade sets the ceiling, and the dose decides how much of that ceiling the product reaches. Value = inverse of price-per-trial-dose-day. Community = mean sentiment of external reviews. Safety caps applied after weighting.

This score is our editorial judgment, not a scientific standard. We combine published evidence, dose, price, transparency, and consumer signals into one composite: this is our method, not a peer-reviewed clinical rating. A higher score means a product does better on the factors we weight, not that it is medically proven to work.
