Clinical intelligence · the engine behind the badge

The science of what you take.

A badge is the end of the work, not the whole of it. Everything a verdict rests on is open to anyone: the ingredient library, the interaction check, the comparisons, the method, and the public record they feed. This is where it all lives, and where the intelligence comes from.

The layers

Follow it as deep as you like.

Each layer is live and open to anyone. Start at an ingredient and follow it out to the record, or start at the record and read back to the science.
The library

Every ingredient, read against the evidence

The reference work at the center of it. Each ingredient page carries the studied dose, which forms absorb, the evidence with its citations, interactions, and the limits regulators publish. This is where a badge starts: a formula is read ingredient by ingredient against this corpus.

The interactions

Every documented interaction, on the record

Drug and supplement interactions from the same primary sources, read into 80 documented pairings. Each one opens to its detail with the citation behind it. Not medical advice; the paper, in front of you.

The comparisons

One ingredient against another, on the evidence

Where two ingredients answer the same goal, the comparison reads them side by side on dose, form, and how the trials actually landed. No winner is invented; the evidence sits next to the evidence.

The method

How a verdict is earned, and never bought

The bar every read is held to: the formula assessed against clinical dose data, lab results reviewed against the label, the gate that a verdict clears or does not. The same bar whether or not a brand pays. Labs test; IngredientMD verifies.

The record

Where it all lands, public and checkable

What holds up earns a public record: the verdict, the formula read, the lab work where it exists, the limits check, each cited. Every badge on every store opens to one of these, checkable by batch. The verdict can never be bought or edited.

How the layers connect

A record names its ingredients. An ingredient page names the products that carry it. A verified product opens its record. The science and the shelf point at each other, both cited, both checkable. That loop is the intelligence.
