Why this scored 62/100
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a real hormone precursor with legitimate use cases in adults over 40 with documented low DHEA-S — the Baulieu 2000 DHEAge study showed bone density and skin improvements in older women at 50 mg/day. Portions Master is a mainstream mass-retail brand; dose per capsule (25 mg, 50 mg, or higher) is the key transparency question and determines appropriate use case. Safety concerns are real: DHEA has androgenic effects (acne, hair loss/growth), should not be used by anyone under 40 without a lab-confirmed deficiency, and can worsen hormone-sensitive conditions (PCOS, hormone-receptor-positive cancers). 'Hormonal Support' framing is vague. Would move to Verified 70+ with per-cap mg on primary label, explicit 'not for use under age 40 without DHEA-S testing' warning, and third-party purity assay.

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.
