Nutrex Research is a legitimate US sports-nutrition brand with distribution at mass retailers and gyms. This SKU delivers 8 g of essential amino acids per serving including 6 g of BCAAs, plus electrolytes for hydration. Doses are disclosed at the class level, which is the primary requirement — 8 g EAA is at or near the anabolic threshold identified in Wolfe 2017 leucine-signaling work (~3 g leucine, roughly consistent with 6 g BCAA if leucine share is ~40-50%). The hydration angle is straightforward electrolyte replacement. The class-level RCT evidence for EAAs supporting recovery and preserving lean mass during caloric deficit is reasonable (Wolfe 2017 review, Church 2020). Held back from Verified by absence of visible third-party sport certification (Informed Sport, NSF Sport), which is a meaningful signal for competitive athletes given the historical contamination risk in this category. Solid Standard entry.
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.

The Vyvata score measures product integrity against a published rubric, not customer sentiment. Vyvata does not aggregate, republish, or license third-party reviews — the links below open search pages on their respective platforms.
Every VSF-related metafield surfaced verbatim. Nothing hidden. If you spot data that looks wrong, let us know.
Every score is set from the published rubric, audit-logged, and rescored whenever new evidence emerges (published trials, updated labels, third-party testing releases). Every vendor is scored on the same criteria — no pay-to-play. See our editorial-independence disclosure for the full policy, including brands with an editorial relationship to this site.
