We Read The Studies.
You Get The Answers.
The supplement industry profits from confusion. We built IngredientMD to cut through the noise and give you clear, research-backed answers. Your supplements, diagnosed.
The Problem
You Google a supplement. You get 50 conflicting articles. One says it's a miracle. Another says it's poison. Three hours later, you're more confused than when you started.
Meanwhile, the $50 billion supplement industry spends more on marketing than research. They want you confused. Confused people buy more.
We think that's wrong.
Our Solution
We do the hard work so you don't have to. Every ingredient is researched, verified, and explained in plain English.
Research First
Every claim is backed by PubMed studies. The same database doctors use.
No BS
We call out overhyped ingredients. Even if they're popular.
Clear Answers
Verdicts in seconds. Is it good? What dose? Any risks?
What We Believe
Transparency over profit
We show our sources. Every claim links to research. If we're uncertain, we say so.
Honesty, even when awkward
Popular supplements with weak evidence get called out. We'd rather be right than popular.
Simplicity is a feature
Complex science, simple answers. If a tired parent can't understand it at midnight, we failed.
Your health, your data
We don't sell your data. We don't push products for commission. Your trust is our product.
