What to check on the label

  • The standardisation line for botanicals (for example 'bacosides 45%' or a branded extract name).
  • For mushroom products, whether the label states fruiting body or mycelium and the extract ratio.
  • Multi-ingredient formulas list each amount below. A long list usually means smaller amounts of each.

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.

Why this scored this way

This Seed Health Seed AM-02 Energy + Focus scores 5.5, making it below the site average. It delivers 17mg of Vitamin D3, above the studied range of 0–0mg with grade A evidence (strong human trial data). At $358.87/day it's among the more expensive options in Cognition.

What drives the score up

  • Vitamin D3 is dosed at the full research level with grade A evidence (strong human trial data).

What drags it down

  • Dose-evidence score of 5.7 is below average for the site.
  • Overall dose is only 1% of the trial dose across ingredients.
  • Riboflavin (B2) (1.3mg is 0% of the 400mg trial dose) is significantly under-dosed.
  • Vitamin B12 (0.0024mg is 0% of the 1mg trial dose) is significantly under-dosed.
  • Quercetin (33.0mg is 7% of the 500mg trial dose) is significantly under-dosed.

Why you'd choose it

  • You want Vitamin D3 from a Seed Health product.
  • You want a tested by independent lab product.

Why you might skip it

  • You want a product with a publicly available CoA.
  • You need a full trial dose of riboflavin (this product under-doses it).
  • You want a standard dose of vitamin d3 (this product is well above it).
Question 1

Does the molecule work?

The science behind each active ingredient, independent of which brand sells it.

Riboflavin (B2)

Cheap B-vitamin; migraine prevention at 400 mg/day.

1 landmark RCT · US: Dietary supplement · EU: Food supplement
Folate (5-MTHF)

The active form of folate; better for those with MTHFR variants.

No landmark RCTs listed · US: Dietary supplement · EU: Food supplement
Vitamin B12

Deficiency common over 50 and in vegetarians; correcting it is essential.

2 landmark RCTs · US: Dietary supplement · EU: Food supplement
Probiotics

Strain-specific benefits; forget 'total CFU' marketing.

No landmark RCTs listed · US: Dietary supplement · EU: Food supplement (some strains Novel Food)
Quercetin

Best-studied 'senolytic' ingredient, though evidence is early.

4 landmark RCTs · US: Dietary supplement · EU: Food supplement (extract-dependent)
Vitamin D3

Cheap, safe, and correcting a deficiency you probably have.

1 landmark RCT · US: Dietary supplement · EU: Food supplement (upper limit 100 μg/day)

Full ingredient breakdown

Every active in this formula, its declared dose per serving, the dose used in the primary human trial, how much of that trial dose this product delivers, and the evidence grade for the ingredient itself.

IngredientDose / servingResearch dose% of researchEvidence grade
Riboflavin (B2)1.3 mg400 mg0%B

Vitamin D317 mg0.05 mg34000%A

Percentages are dose per serving ÷ primary trial dose. Below 50% means the formula is unlikely to reproduce the trial outcome for that active. Grade A = multiple large human RCTs. Grade F = no human evidence. How grades work. Full glossary →

Question 3

What's the catch?

Safety flags, transparency gaps, dosing concerns, and recurring buyer complaints.

Safety signals
Exceeds upper intake limit — vitamin-d3
17.0 mg per serving exceeds the tolerable upper intake level of 0.1 mg/day. UL is 100 mcg/day (4,000 IU/day; equivalent to 0.1 mg) for adults. Toxicity causes hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria; extremely high serum levels can lead to kidney failure and arrhythmias.

Safety flag
vitamin-d3 dose 17 mg exceeds UL (0.100 mg)
Dose or interaction risk detected. See ingredient page for details.

Evidence, claims & regulation

Published evidence, claim checks, regulatory status and what could not be verified.

Important to know
Riboflavin (B2)Turns urine bright yellow (harmless).
Folate (5-MTHF)Folic acid (the synthetic form) can mask B12 deficiency. Choose methylfolate.
Vitamin B12Metformin depletes B12; check yearly if on it.
ProbioticsRefrigerated ≠ better if the strain is shelf-stable. Look for CFU at expiry, not at manufacture.
QuercetinPlain quercetin dihydrate has poor absorption. Phytosome forms deliver 10 to 20× more into blood.
Vitamin D3Taking without fat = poor absorption. High-dose D3 without K2 can drive calcium into arteries. D2 form (ergocalciferol) is inferior for raising blood levels.
Vitamin D3High doses (>4000 IU/day) may cause hypercalcemia. Do not exceed upper intake limits without medical supervision.

Editorial notes

Primarily a caffeine-free nootropic/energy product (ginseng, theacrine, methylliberine) rather than a longevity supplement; it contains PQQ and K2 MK-7 in an undisclosed-dose 17mg blend, making its longevity relevance marginal and secondary to its stated cognitive-energy positioning.
