Why this scored 42/100
Evergreen Apothecary Skip the Shot Tincture is positioned as a botanical alternative to GLP-1 receptor agonist injections (semaglutide, tirzepatide) for weight management and blood sugar. The product name explicitly frames itself as a substitute for GLP-1 injections. This is a misleading_naming pattern: no botanical or supplement has demonstrated GLP-1 agonist pharmacology comparable to semaglutide or tirzepatide, which are engineered peptide analogs that bind and activate GLP-1 receptors with 94% and 55% sequence homology respectively to native GLP-1. Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) has caffeine, chlorogenic acids, and modest data on modest weight-loss and glycemic effects at high daily doses (typically 3g/day of leaves per Kim 2015), but delivers ~1-2% of the weight loss and glycemic effect magnitude of GLP-1 agonists in trials. The Skip the Shot framing sets a therapeutic expectation the product cannot meet. Rejected under misleading_naming.

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.
