Why this scored 44/100
Force Factor is a men's-supplement mass-retail brand (owned by Integrated Nutraceutical Sciences, part of the WK Kellogg / K-Roc portfolio). This SKU delivers 50mg DHEA per capsule — double the previous product. 50mg is at the upper end of studied doses (Arlt 1999 adrenal insufficiency: 25-50mg; higher-dose 'vitality' claims are not evidence-supported). Higher dose amplifies the hormone-conversion risks discussed above — more testosterone conversion in women (hirsutism, acne, voice deepening), more estradiol conversion in men (gynecomastia, water retention). 'Healthy aging support' and 'balanced energy' claims outrun the evidence base at 50mg for healthy adults. Vegan capsule and 100% vegan/non-GMO ingredients are defensible transparency notes. Rejected — the dose is aggressive for a general-population OTC and the marketing claims outrun the RCT support.

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.
