The Verdict is In: These Product Reviews are Game-Changers

The number of product reviews online is insane 🤯. Most are skewed, purely subjective, swayed by the company itself, superficial or otherwise.

My goal is to provide in-depth information on the product and its ingredients. When needed, I email the company for information and look at scientific articles for evidence behind it. Probe into their quality control. Ask difficult questions.

I always try each product before writing my reviews.

Review Process

Below is my detailed review process for products. I take each product review seriously and will NEVER get paid to promote anything. I, personally, use each product for @ least 14 days before reviewing.

Overall Recommendation: Based on my experience with the supplement, would I recommend it to others? Why or why not?

  • 🤩: recommend

  • 😐: indifferent; no explicit health harm nor benefit. Meh, ¯_(ツ)/¯ Might help some people, might not. Try it out for yourself.

  • 👎: Do not recommend, poor quality, no benefit, shady practices, identical replica of a superior product, or otherwise. A product just has to meet one of these criteria to fall into this basket.

Cost: How much does the supplement cost per serving or per container? Is it a good value for the price?

$ < 5 dollars a day

$$ <10 dollars a day

$$$ >10 dollars a day

Quality: What is the source of the ingredients in the supplement? Are they sourced from reputable suppliers? Does the supplement contain any fillers or additives?

  • 👍: Ingredients sourced ethically without shady practices, research support one or more of the ingredients, and nutritional ingredients labeled.

  • 😐: indifferent; no explicit health harm nor benefit. Meh, ¯_(ツ)/¯

  • 👎: harmful health ingredients or potentially harmful backed by research with references at end of the post. Ingredients sourced in unethically or unclear methods. No quality control. For a product to get this metric, they have to simply meet one of these.

Taste: How does the supplement taste? Is it pleasant to drink or consume?

  • 😋: Taste great!

  • 😐: Not the best tasting; but I can live with it.

  • 🤢: Wow! This tastes awful. barf bag, please!
