How we ranked them
Every product is scored 0–100 from its label data in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database: dosage transparency (35 points - are amounts stated per ingredient, or hidden in a proprietary blend?), label completeness (25), formulation cleanliness (25 - fillers, dyes, titanium dioxide and other non-active ingredients) and ingredient profile (15). The Top 10 admits only products scoring 60 or higher; among those, products with a verified retail listing are shown first so the list is one you can act on. No brand can pay to be included or moved up.

80Frequently Asked Questions
How are specialty supplements ranked?
Products are ranked by SupplementScore, which evaluates label quality across four categories: dosage transparency (35 pts), label completeness (25 pts), formulation cleanliness (25 pts), and ingredient profile (15 pts). The score is based on data from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database, not marketing claims.
Does a higher score mean the supplement is more effective?
No. The SupplementScore measures label quality, how transparent, clean, and well-documented a product is. It does not measure clinical efficacy, bioavailability, or third-party testing. A higher score means better label practices, not guaranteed results.
How many specialty supplements were analyzed?
We analyzed 3,180 specialty products from the NIH DSLD database, which contains label data for over 116,000 dietary supplements sold in the United States.
