Methodology · v2.1.0
How a SuppScore is made
Every report answers two separate questions — and keeps them separate, because a good ingredient and a good product aren’t the same thing. The Ingredient Report is the science; the SuppScore is the bottle. An S does not mean the ingredient works — the Ingredient Report says whether it does.
Question 1
Is the ingredient proven?
Identical for every brand. Described on Evidence and Safety — not graded.
Question 2
Does the bottle match the label?
Specific to the product and brand. Graded on five yes/no checks.
The five checks
Proper dosage — the labeled dose falls inside the range human studies used.
Highly bioavailable form — the ingredient comes in a form the body absorbs well.
No proprietary blends — every ingredient carries its own stated amount.
Independent batch tests published — an outside lab has tested the product and the results are public, lot by lot. Marks differ in what they cover. Some audit the factory and test the contents against the label; others screen for contaminants or banned substances. We accept all of them. None proves the supplement works.
Third-party certification — a certification program — USP Verified, NSF Certified, Informed Sport, Informed Choice or BSCG Certified Quality — lists the product. Certification also satisfies the batch-test check.
✕
Not checked — when we can’t find the label data to verify a check, it counts as not met and is marked “Not checked.” A data gap is never dressed up as a pass or as a specific failure.
The grade
All five. Certified and clean on every check.
A
Four of five.
B
Three of five.
C
Two of five.
D
One or none. Also the grade for any product with a confirmed FDA adulteration finding in the last two years — an undeclared drug, contamination, or a Class I recall — regardless of the checks. We look for these in FDA’s public recall records; finding none there doesn’t prove a product is clean.
Price is reported alongside the grade but does not affect it.
Sources & independence
Every factual claim should trace to a numbered citation. Where we can’t source a claim, the report says so.
WhatSupp takes no money from supplement brands — no sponsorships, no affiliate placement in grades.
We don’t run our own lab, and we don’t give medical advice — reports describe products, not what you should take.

Question 1
Is the ingredient proven?
Identical for every brand of a supplement. Reported on Evidence (human trials for the claimed benefits) and Safety (side effects, interactions, safe dosing range). Described, not graded — an ingredient has no SuppScore.
Question 2
Does the bottle match the label?
Specific to the product and brand. Graded on five yes/no checks — the SuppScore is the count of checks the product passes.
The five checks
Proper dosage — the labeled dose falls inside the range human studies used.
Highly bioavailable form — the ingredient comes in a form the body absorbs well.
No proprietary blends — every ingredient carries its own stated amount.
Independent batch tests published — an outside lab has tested the product and the results are public, lot by lot. Marks differ in what they cover.

Price is reported alongside the grade but does not affect it.
Sources & independence
Our standard is that every factual claim in a report traces to a numbered citation — peer-reviewed studies, official standards (USP, NSF/ANSI 173, FDA cGMP), certificates of analysis, and our own price index. Where we can’t source a claim, the report says so rather than making it.
WhatSupp takes no money from supplement brands — no sponsorships, no affiliate placement in grades. Alternatives are ranked by score and price, never by commission.
Grades are meant to be re-evaluated as new batch tests, recalls, or studies are published; until that runs automatically, each report shows the dates its science, label, and certification were last checked, plus its methodology version.
How AI builds a report
Each report is researched and written by an AI system. It reads the product label, certification databases, published studies and our price index, then scores what it finds against this methodology — the rubric above, applied the same way every time.
Its output is held to the citation standard above: factual claims should trace to a numbered reference, and claims that can’t be sourced are flagged or dropped. Regenerating reports when sources change is the target behavior we’re building toward.
Every report is labeled as AI-generated, with its date and methodology version.
What we don’t do
We don’t give medical advice — reports describe products, not what you should take. That’s between you and your clinician.
We don’t run our own lab. The testing and certification checks reflect published third-party records, not tests we performed.
