Which of these brands scored highest overall?

Pure Encapsulations averaged 79.9/100 across 20 scored products — the highest of the four brands compared. Higher-scoring brands generally combine full ingredient dose disclosure, formulation choices backed by RCT evidence at studied doses, and public third-party testing.

Do third-party certifications like NSF and USP guarantee a high score?

They're a strong signal on manufacturing integrity but only cover part of the Vyvata rubric. A product can be NSF-certified and still have weak evidence for its active ingredient, sub-therapeutic dosing, or misleading marketing. NSF/USP is one input into the Manufacturing dimension; the other five dimensions are independent.

Is this comparison biased by which products Vyvata carries?

Yes, in the sense that we only score products we list. We list products across all four brands compared here, but a brand with a wider catalog we carry can look "better" purely from statistical mass. The individual per-product scores are independent — see the deep dives above for the specific products and reasoning per brand.

How often does this comparison update?

Whenever any of these brands' products get rescored. New evidence (published trials, third-party testing releases, label updates) can shift individual products up or down, which changes the brand averages. Every score carries a "last scored" timestamp on the product page.

Pure Encapsulations vs Nature Made: Which Supplement Brand Actually Scores Higher?

Pure Encapsulations vs Nature Made is one of the most-searched brand comparisons in the supplement space — two brands that sit at very different points on the quality curve despite both being widely available. Pure Encapsulations targets practitioners and clean-supplement buyers (hypoallergenic, no unnecessary excipients, NSF-registered facility); Nature Made targets mass retail with USP Verified certification on many SKUs. Same 6-dimension Vyvata rubric applied to every product from both brands we carry — no editorial thumb on the scale. Read the rubric →

How the scoring works

Every product is scored on six dimensions — evidence (RCT quality supporting the active ingredients at the label dose), formulation (dose adequacy, bioavailability form, redundancy), manufacturing (third-party testing, GMP, facility audits), safety (adverse-event profile, interactions, dose ceiling), transparency (dose disclosure vs proprietary blends, honest marketing), and sustainability (sourcing, packaging, corporate practice). Tier thresholds: Elite 85+, Verified 70–84, Standard 50–69, Rejected 0–49. Rejected products stay listed with reasons. Full rubric →
