Product Comparison

What to look for on a label

The method we use when a product is under review.

Identity

The plant or mineral name, the part used (root, fruit, flower, resin, leaf), and the form (tea, extract, capsule, specific salt such as glycinate or oxide).

The label

A stated amount and form is more useful than a proprietary blend or a slogan. Two products can share a common name and still differ in strength and preparation.

The research match

Does this kind of preparation resemble what was studied? That is not the same as claiming the jar itself was proven in a trial.

Testing

A batch report or a recognized third-party seal is stronger than the word “pure” on its own.

Other ingredients

Extra herbs, sweeteners, fillers, and unlisted blends belong in the reading. They are not automatically a problem; they should be visible.

Claims we will not make

Dietary supplements are not medicines. We do not present them as able to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
