Why this scored 42/100
Culinary salt is a food product, not a supplement, and Himalayan salt's 'trace mineral' claims are exaggerated versus regular iodized salt while missing dietary iodine. Out of scope for supplement scoring.
Auto-fail rule triggered: Out of scope for biohacking.
The product is not appropriate for the biohacking / human-wellness catalog scope. Examples: veterinary products, industrial chemicals, prescription drugs not intended for self-supplementation. 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.

Is Himalayan Crystal Salt - Fine Ground third-party tested?
