Why this scored 60/100
Minimo Nutrition's ashwagandha with added black pepper (piperine) for bioavailability. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) has one of the stronger evidence bases among adaptogenic herbs — multiple RCTs support cortisol reduction, anxiety improvement, and modest sleep improvement in mildly stressed populations, with the most robust data on standardised KSM-66 and Sensoril extracts at 300-600 mg/day. The description does not clarify whether this SKU uses a standardised extract (KSM-66, Sensoril, or generic root powder) or the milligrams per capsule, which caps transparency credit. Piperine addition is a common bioenhancer that modestly improves absorption of some compounds but is not necessary for ashwagandha's withanolides. Solid mid-Standard: strong category, plausible formulation, but standardisation and dose disclosure would elevate the score.
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.
