How these are scored
Each category is weighted for what it is actually sold on, so the cost column divides by a different thing in each one. A protein powder prices per gram of protein; an electrolyte mix prices per gram of sodium, because sodium is the one electrolyte a Nutrition Facts panel must quantify.
| Category | Cost basis | Weights |
|---|---|---|
| Skin Support | cost per gram of the labelled active | label disclosure 35%, value 30%, dose integrity 20%, consensus 15% |
| Body Composition Support | cost per fully dosed serving | dose integrity 40%, value 30%, label disclosure 15%, consensus 15% |
| Electrolytes | cost per gram of sodium | value 40%, label disclosure 25%, formula 20%, consensus 15% |
A dose threshold is never invented. Every one traces to a named source in the reference, and where no clinical dose has been established — curcumin, whole-fruit saw palmetto — or the only published dose comes from studies in people with a diagnosed condition — biotin, saw palmetto extract, fish oil, NAC, milk thistle — the active is recognised and reported by name but not scored. A missing component is never counted as zero: its weight is redistributed and the page says which one was omitted.

A category appears here until enough of its products can be scored on the axis that carries its weight. Most of the shortfall is not products we have not read — it is actives with no dose this site can audit against, and labels that do not state the amount a dose is about.
