About HealthConsumerRatings
HealthConsumerRatings is an independent review site that checks dietary supplements the same way every time, so readers can tell what is real before they buy. We currently cover 59 products across 16 health categories.
Why we started
Supplement marketing is full of urgency, miracle claims and reviews that are hard to trust. Readers told us they wanted one simple thing: a consistent, honest check of what a product contains, what it costs, how the refund works and whether the claims hold up.
So we built a fixed scorecard and apply it to every product, whether it sells well or not.
What we do
- Check the official offer. Packages, prices per bottle, shipping, guarantee and checkout platform, with the date we checked.
- Read the label. Every disclosed ingredient and dose, and whether the formula hides behind a proprietary blend.
- Compare with research. We link to published studies on PubMed and fact sheets from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.
- Flag safety issues. Who should skip the product, side effects and drug interactions.
- Give a plain verdict. Legit, or real but overpromising, with the reasons.
What we don't do
- We don't invent testimonials or use fake doctors and experts.
- We don't publish fake countdowns or urgency. If a brand claims limited stock, we attribute it to the brand.
- We don't present supplements as cures or as replacements for medical treatment.
- We don't accept payment for higher scores.
How the site is funded
