Why this scored 38/100
1776 Sports Nutrition 'Red Horseman' is a pre-workout / energy formulation from a brand whose product line prominently includes an over-the-counter tirzepatide product — a Schedule Rx pharmaceutical sold as a supplement in likely violation of FDA/DEA controls. That parent-brand red flag alone materially compromises trust in every 1776 SKU: a brand willing to sell compounded GLP-1 peptides as supplements is not a brand exercising ordinary DSHEA-compliant judgment on any of its products. 'Red Horseman' as a product name is category-typical pre-workout branding suggesting stimulant blend, likely caffeine, beta-alanine, citrulline, and undisclosed proprietary components. Without a full Supplement Facts panel disclosed at title level with per-ingredient milligrams for every active, the product cannot be evaluated for stimulant dose, safety margins, or evidence-based dosing of the individual actives. Proprietary blends in pre-workout products are the industry's oldest transparency failure — they hide caffeine doses that can range from safe (100 mg) to reckless (400+ mg) behind a single 'Energy Blend' line-item. Autofailed under proprietary_blend_hides_dose. Would additionally warrant scrutiny under manufacturer_credibility given the sibling-SKU tirzepatide issue.

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.
