Independent supplement reviews

We read the label, not the sales page.

We checked 701 supplement reviews ranking in Bing's top three. Not one of them printed a price. So that's where every review here starts.

The gap we're filling

Supplement reviews are easy to find and hard to use. Almost all of them repeat the marketing, and leave out the three things a buyer wants first.

In September 2026 we captured 500 live Bing US searches across 100 products and classified 3,132 results. Then we read what Bing displayed for the 701 review pages sitting in the top three. We counted what they led with.

What top-three supplement reviews show, against what we publish. Bing US, September 2026.
ElementThemUs
State a price 0% Every package, plus cost per day
Give a rating 1% A score out of 10, with the reasoning
Mention guarantee terms 2% Length, and whether it outlasts the supply
Mention side effects 19% Named cautions for each ingredient
Name the ingredients 37% Every one, and the amounts when published
Show a date 69% The date each figure was checked

A zero is not a typo. Across 701 pages Bing ranks in the top three, not one put a price in front of the reader.

What the answer engines are asking for

We also captured 227 of Bing's own AI answers on these products and counted what they were built from. The mismatch is the whole opportunity.

The answers want prices, ratings and refund terms. The pages that rank publish almost none of them. So our reviews lead with exactly those facts. Each one is written to stand alone if it's quoted.

How we review a supplement

Read the seller's own pages, and write down the date

Every price, package size, shipping charge and refund term comes from the order page itself. We record it exactly as shown, on the day we look.

Look for a Supplement Facts panel

If there isn't one, we say so plainly. That single absence answers most of what people want to know about a product.

Compare each ingredient with published research

We find the dose used in human trials and put it next to what the label says. Studies are cited by PubMed identifier so you can read them yourself.

Price it against products that do publish their amounts

Two named alternatives, real prices, real cost per day. No invented competitor figures, ever.

The full method, including how the score is built

Reviews

Supplement Verdicts launched in September 2026. We'd rather publish one review you can check than forty you can't. The list is short, and it grows slowly.

More in research: the ingredient breakdown, the evidence, side effects, price, the scam question and complaints. Each gets its own page, and its own research pass.

Questions about this site

Who writes these reviews?

The Supplement Verdicts editorial team. We are a small independent publication, not a retailer and not owned by any supplement company. Every review names the date it was checked.

Do you test the products yourself?

No, and we say so on every page. This is desk research. We read what the seller publishes, record it exactly, then compare the named ingredients against published human trials. We never invent a personal trial or a customer story.

How do you make money?

Some links earn us a commission if you buy. It costs you nothing extra. Nobody can pay for a score. We write the review first, then look at the commission.

Why do your scores look low compared with other sites?

Most supplement reviews repeat the sales page. We score against what the seller actually publishes. A product that hides its ingredient amounts loses points for that, however good the marketing is.

What is a proprietary blend?

A mix a company does not have to break apart on the label. You get the ingredient names and sometimes one total, but not how much of each you are taking. It is legal and common, and it makes a product impossible to judge properly.

How often are prices updated?

Every review is re-checked at least monthly, and the visible date changes only when a fact changes. We never move a date to look fresh.

How can I check your figures?

Open the seller's own order page and compare. Where we cite research we give the PubMed identifier so you can read the study yourself. Got something wrong? Tell us on the contact page. We'll correct it and say what changed.

Affiliate disclosure. If you buy through a link on this page we may earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra. It doesn't change our score. We write the review before we check the commission. Our full disclosure explains which links earn and which don't.
