How We Score

Each vendor gets a 1-5 star rating (half stars allowed) in eight categories:

Overall is the plain average of the eight, and the list is ordered by overall score. Ties are broken by CoA access.

Evidence we use

Where evidence is thin or not yet verified, we give a neutral score of about 3 and say so. Vendor-only claims count less than independently checkable ones. Vendors that don't sell directly are not ranked.

Every score shows its evidence so readers can judge for themselves.

All products discussed are for laboratory research use only.
