Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using The Supplement Ratings (thesupplementratings.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

Medical Disclaimer

The Supplement Ratings provides information for educational purposes only. Our content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider before starting any supplement regimen.

SupplementScore Disclaimer

Our SupplementScore is an algorithmic assessment of product label quality based on publicly available data from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD). It evaluates dosage transparency, label completeness, formulation cleanliness, and ingredient profile.

The SupplementScore does not measure or imply:

• Clinical efficacy or therapeutic effectiveness of any product
• Bioavailability or absorption of ingredients
• Results of independent laboratory testing (purity, potency, contaminants)
• Suitability for any specific medical condition

Rankings on this site reflect label quality scores, not product effectiveness. A higher score means better label transparency and cleaner formulation — it does not mean the product is more effective than lower-scored alternatives.

Ingredient research displayed on product pages reflects published studies on individual ingredients at various doses and forms. It does not evaluate the specific product's effectiveness. Individual results depend on dosage, form, bioavailability, and personal health factors.
