Why this scored 58/100
Pharmaton is a longstanding European multivitamin brand (originally by Boehringer Ingelheim) built around a standardized Panax ginseng extract (G115) plus a general multivitamin/mineral matrix. The G115 ginseng standardization is a real quality signal — it has small RCTs for cognitive endpoints and quality-of-life measures (Scaglione 1990). The multi provides basic micronutrient coverage. Pharma-heritage manufacturing is a modest positive over generic supplement-industry manufacturing. G115 daily dose is typically 40 mg (low end of studied range 100-400 mg for cognitive endpoints); multivitamin doses tend to be modest and dated (D3 often only 200-400 IU where 1,000-2,000 is now standard). Would move to Verified 70+ with updated micronutrient doses reflecting current science and higher G115 dose.

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.
