Six-dimension breakdown
Why this scored 70/100
15 billion CFU practitioner-grade probiotic built on two well-studied strains (L. acidophilus NCFM and B. lactis Bi-07). NCFM has multiple GI RCTs (Engelbrektson 2009), and picking two extensively studied strains over a large unvetted count is the evidence-led choice. Metagenics is Nestlé-owned with practitioner-grade GMP. Just crosses into Verified because strain identity and dose are transparent and RCT-anchored.
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.
