Scoring methodology

Each brand was audited against its live product page(s) and linked certification documents in June 2026. Claims were rated across nine categories:

Fabricated outcome statistics — specific percentage improvement figures with no linked citations or studies
Disease / condition claims — naming specific medical conditions as product benefits without FDA medical device clearance
PPM inflation & inconsistencies — headline concentration claims that differ materially from lab-certified values, or physically impossible units
Fake social proof — stock photo clinicians, fabricated expert panels, unverifiable institutional endorsement counts
Authority misrepresentation — misusing regulatory body names, overstating certifications, false exclusivity claims, undefined prestige terms
False pricing tactics — fabricated anchor prices, permanent "limited time" discounts, invented "total value" comparisons
Pseudoscience language — water structuring, undefined superlatives, mechanistic claims not demonstrated at consumer doses
Implied celebrity endorsement — names, images, or social handles used to imply endorsement without direct product-specific quotes
Certification integrity — authenticity of claimed certifications verified against accreditation databases and original PDF documents; covers existence of certifying body, accreditation numbers, PDF metadata, and whether certificates were issued specifically for the brand's product or borrowed from a generic manufacturer test

0–6 pts: Transparent

7–14 pts: Moderate concerns

15–27 pts: Significant concerns
