Why this scored 58/100
Bovine colostrum concentrate positioned around 'very high IgG levels' for skin, immunity, and gut health. Bovine colostrum is a legitimate ingredient with a moderate evidence base — IgG-standardized colostrum has published support for reducing upper-respiratory-infection incidence in athletes and preserving gut barrier function under exercise-induced permeability (Davison 2021 meta-analysis; Halasa 2017 on leaky gut and NSAID-induced permeability). Where the product loses points: the specific IgG percentage per gram is claimed as 'very high' but not disclosed as a numerical spec (typical commercial colostrum ranges from 15-40% IgG by weight and the therapeutic dose in trials is usually 20-60 g/day of colostrum providing 3-10 g/day IgG), the sourcing (grass-fed, US vs New Zealand vs European, first-milking timing) is not fully documented at the SKU-page level, and no third-party testing certificate is routinely published. The 'skin' and 'immunity' framing is defensible for the gut-barrier and URTI evidence base; the 'youthful skin' framing that Upgraded Formulas uses elsewhere in the line is softer. Low-mid Standard tier — legitimate ingredient category with acceptable single-ingredient formulation but with disclosure gaps that keep it out of the mid-60s Standard range.
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.

Every score is set from the published rubric, audit-logged, and rescored whenever new evidence emerges (published trials, updated labels, third-party testing releases). Every vendor is scored on the same criteria — no pay-to-play. See our editorial-independence disclosure for the full policy, including brands with an editorial relationship to this site.
