01
Ingredient quality
Named, standardised extracts — or a proprietary blend hiding the doses. One of those is a red flag.
Independent supplement reviews
I take the stuff, then I tell you what actually happened.
No sponsored verdicts, no affiliate-first rankings, no "clinically proven" copied off the label. Every product here was bought, taken for four weeks, and written up — including the ones that did nothing at all.

Where do you want to start?
Six shelves, and everything on them has been bought, taken and written up.
Method
How every product gets scored
The same five questions, in the same order, for everything on this site. A product can have a beautiful label and still fail four of them.
02
Dose vs. the evidence
The studies used a dose. Does the capsule contain it, or a tenth of it? This is where most formulas quietly fail.
03
Formula transparency
Full disclosure of every milligram, or a "proprietary blend" number that tells you nothing.
04
Value for money
Cost per effective daily serving, not cost per bottle. A cheap bottle you take three of is not cheap.
05
Brand trust
Third-party testing, a real address, and what happens when you try to get a refund.
In brief
How this site works, in three pictures
Two of these count the live catalogue and redraw themselves as it grows. The first has no numbers in it at all, because it is a method rather than a claim.
What "reviewed" means here
The same five steps for a $19 bottle of B12 and a $69 nootropic stack. Step two is the one that decides most verdicts, and it is the one almost nobody publishes.
- Buy it myself Full price, no PR samples, no brand contact before the verdict is written. Nobody gets to see it first.
- Read the label against the studies Find the dose the research actually used, then find the dose in the capsule. This is where most formulas quietly fail, and it costs a lot of them their score.
- Four weeks minimum Same sleep, same coffee, same time of day throughout. Anything shorter than four weeks cannot tell a real effect from a good week.
- Write down the nothing Plenty of these do nothing at all. That gets published in the same words as the wins, or the wins are not worth reading.
- Price it per serving Cost per effective daily dose, not cost per bottle. A cheap bottle you have to take three of is not a cheap bottle.
What is actually on this site
Published posts per section, counted live. Nootropics and supplements carry the site by a wide margin, which is why they get the first two menu slots.

Two kinds of page here
Comparisons settle one product against another. Reviews take a single product through the five steps above. A post that does both is counted as a comparison, because that is the question the reader arrived with.

Head to head
