Why this scored 55/100
Spearmint is a Prairie Star Botanicals single-ingredient liquid extract containing Spearmint (Mentha spicata), positioned for cognitive and digestive support. A branded standardized spearmint extract (Neumentix, rosmarinic-acid-enriched) has RCT support for working memory and reaction time in older adults (Herrlinger 2018) and for PCOS-related androgen reduction (Grant 2010). Prairie Star's tincture is not the Neumentix standardization, so the RCT evidence transfers only weakly. Very well-tolerated. Anti-androgenic potential (helpful in PCOS; consider if male on androgen support). Prairie Star Botanicals is a small US herbalist line built around locally-harvested (where possible) single-herb liquid extracts. The single-ingredient tincture format is honest — you can see exactly what you're taking. What Prairie Star Botanicals does NOT publish at the product level: third-party certificates of analysis, per-lot heavy-metal or microbial testing, herb-to-menstruum extraction ratios, or standardized marker-compound percentages. That opacity is what caps most of the line at Standard-tier or below in Vyvata's rubric even when the herb itself has real evidence.

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.
