Our methodology

How we review

Every product we cover is scored against the same seven weighted criteria — formula quality, evidence, transparency, value, 50+ friendliness, ease of use, and consumer policies. For example, in our ProDentim Review: Ingredients, Pricing, and Our Honest Verdict review, we scored it 7.0: "A well-formulated oral probiotic built on a genuinely credible strain (Lactobacillus reuteri), let down only by the same evidence and transparency gaps common across this product category — worth trying if the concept appeals to you, backed by a generous 60-day refund window."
