Score breakdown
Tap a module to see what it measures. A 0 can reflect missing disclosure, not just a negative result.
Dosage quality
6.7/10
Acceptable dosing, but not standout
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).
Theanine: dose within clinically studied range (evidence A). The main limitation is that calcium: below clinically studied range.

Final verdict
A solid product, but not a clean win. The main trade-off is weaker dosing.
Ingredient Analysis & Evidence
A closer look at the main ingredients, how they influence the score, and the supporting evidence when available. Tap any ingredient to expand.
✔ Clinically effective dose with moderate supporting evidence
Dose is within the optimal/effective range. A clear strength: Dose is strong and within effective ranges. The declared form supports strong absorption.
Scientific evidence
RCT
Owen et al. RCT theanine and caffeine on cognitive performance
ℹ At the minimum effective range, but below the optimal dose; evidence is strong
Dose meets the minimum effective range, but is below the optimal dose used for stronger effects. This is a limiting factor: Dose is below the ranges usually used for stronger effects. The declared form supports strong absorption.
Scientific evidence
Meta-analysis
McLellan et al. systematic review caffeine and alertness
⚠ Strong evidence exists, but dose is below effective threshold
Dose is below the minimum effective threshold. A clear drag on the formula: Dose is likely below clinically useful levels. The label does not specify the form, so absorption quality cannot be verified.
Scientific evidence
Meta-analysis
