Bevisning gates dose: the evidence grade sets the ceiling, and the dose decides how much of that ceiling the product reaches. Value = inverse of price-per-trial-dose-day. Community = mean sentiment of external reviews. Säkerhet caps applied after weighting.

This score is our editorial judgment, not a scientific standard. We combine published evidence, dose, price, transparency, and consumer signals into one composite: this is our method, not a peer-reviewed clinical rating. A higher score means a product does better on the factors we weight, not that it is medically proven to work.

Important to know
BerberinStandard berberine has ~5% oral bioavailability. Dihydroberberine and berberine phytosomes absorb better. Split doses across meals (500 mg × 3) to avoid GI upset.
SaffronNot for pregnancy. Interacts with anticoagulants at high doses.

Redaktionellt notes

NTD's newer, more expensive berberine option, a 5-ingredient phytosome-based stack replacing the plain-berberine positioning once held by their now-discontinued standalone SKU. No dedicated clinical trial exists on this exact 5-ingredient combination or ratio; phytosome delivery for berberine is plausible but not as extensively validated as HCl form at 500mg TID.

In plain language

Why this scored this way

This Nootropics Depot Berbelean | Enhanced Berberin (Berberin Phytosome + Black Ginger, Saffron, CurCousin, Piperine) scores 7.3, making it a mid-tier product with both strengths and weaknesses. It contains 550.0mg of Berberin, which is only 37% of the 1500mg trial dose with grade A evidence (strong human trial data). Transparency is a clear strength (score: 9.0), with third-party testing and a public analysintyg. At $2.27/day it's among the more expensive options in Metabolic.

What drives the score up

  • Dose-evidence score of 7.1 shows decent alignment with trial doses.
  • Quality transparency of 9.0: tested by independent lab with a public analysintyg.
  • Saffron is dosed at the full research level with grade B evidence (promising human data, not yet comprehensive).
  • Saffron is also dosed at the full research level.

What drags it down

  • Overall dose is only 37% of the trial dose across ingredients.
  • Berberin (550.0mg is 37% of the 1500mg trial dose) is significantly under-dosed.
  • Limited consumer feedback (community score: 6.0).
  • At $2.27/day it's on the expensive side.

Why you'd choose it

  • You want Berberin from a Nootropics Depot product.
  • You prioritise tested by independent lab produkter with public lab certificates.
  • You want doses that align with published research.

Why you might skip it

  • You need a full trial dose of berberine (this product under-doses it).
  • You want a cheaper option (this is $2.27/day).
  • You want a product that hits the full trial dose (this is at 37%).
