Why this scored 28/100
Description itself flags '[amount not disclosed]' next to every active including caffeine — the product page acknowledges 'CRITICAL SAFETY CONCERN' for undisclosed caffeine content. Cannot assess dosing, safety, or therapeutic value. Rejected on undisclosed-dose auto-fail; the undisclosed caffeine specifically is a safety hazard.
Auto-fail rule triggered: Proprietary blend hides dose.
The product uses a proprietary or 'proprietary blend' formulation that hides per-ingredient dosages. Without knowing the amount of each active ingredient, users cannot verify whether the blend meets RCT-supported effective doses. See the full rubric →

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.
