Six-dimension breakdown
Why this scored 56/100
Single-ingredient berberine HCl. Berberine at 500 mg 3x/day has decent glycemic and lipid data (Yin 2008 RCT vs metformin; Dong 2013 meta-analysis for lipids), but this listing does not disclose mg per capsule or serving. Without a confirmed dose we cannot assume it matches the effective 1500 mg/day protocol.
Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
- 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.

Why did Berberine score in the Standard tier?

Berberine at 500 mg 3x/day has decent glycemic and lipid data (Yin 2008 RCT vs metformin; Dong 2013 meta-analysis for lipids), but this listing does not disclose mg per capsule or serving.

Weakest: Transparency at 45/100 (dose disclosure vs proprietary blends, and honesty of marketing claims) and Sustainability at 45/100 (sourcing practices, packaging, and corporate practice). All six dimensions feed the overall Vyvata score; a weakness on any one dimension pulls the overall down proportionally.
