Why this scored 57/100

Sundance is a legacy Vitamin Shoppe / Windmill-adjacent value brand — mid-tier pharmacy-channel supplement. Potassium gluconate 595 mg per caplet delivers about 99 mg elemental potassium — the FDA-imposed OTC cap on single-tablet potassium in the US (which is why nearly every domestic potassium supplement lands at exactly 99 mg elemental). Adequate Intake for potassium is 3400 mg/day for men, so a tablet moves the needle only modestly; dietary potassium from fruit/vegetable sources delivers more with fewer GI effects. Safety-relevant: contraindicated with ACE inhibitors, ARBs, potassium-sparing diuretics, and renal insufficiency (hyperkalemia risk). Would move to Verified with clearer drug-interaction warnings on-label and pairing with magnesium (co-limiting for intracellular K).

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.
