Consider another option if
You want fewer compromises on formulation quality.
Score breakdown
Tap a module to see what it measures. A 0 can reflect missing disclosure, not just a negative result.
Dosage quality
8.9/10Strong dosing for the intended goal
Checks whether labeled ingredient amounts fall within clinically studied ranges (not just regulatory minimums). Low/0 can reflect under-dosing or missing amounts (e.g., proprietary blends).

This is a multi-ingredient product. The score reflects formulation quality, not efficacy for a specific health goal.
Whey-protein: dose within clinically studied range (evidence A). The main limitation is that formula coherence is weak: diluted, decorative or overly complex.
