How we scored this product Show the full breakdown
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.

Redaktionellt notes
A $3.99/bar (12-pack, $48) plant-protein nutrition bar that layers in dosed taurine (1.5g), astaxanthin (3mg) and a 600mg five-mushroom blend on top of standard bar nutrition, a genuinely differentiated 'functional food' rather than a typical protein bar, but it is a food product (not a capsule/powder supplement) and sits at the edge of what should count as a longevity supplement versus a fortified snack.
Why this scored this way
This NOVOS Labs NOVOS Bar scores 4.4, making it among the lowest-scoring produkter we track. It contains 3.0mg of Astaxanthin, which is only 38% of the 8mg trial dose with grade B evidence (promising human data, not yet comprehensive). The quality transparency (5.0) is limited by the lack of third-party testing. At $8.00/day it's among the more expensive options in Multi/greens.
What drives the score up
- Overall score of 4.4 with no single dominant strength.
What drags it down
- Dose-evidence score of 4.1 is below average for the site.
- Astaxanthin (3.0mg is 38% of the 8mg trial dose) is significantly under-dosed.
- Lion's Mane (600.0mg is 20% of the 3000mg trial dose) is significantly under-dosed.
- No third-party testing, which caps the quality transparency.
- Quality transparency of 5.0 is below the site average.
Why you'd choose it
- You want Astaxanthin from a NOVOS Labs product.
Why you might skip it
- You want third-party verified purity.
- You want a product with a publicly available CoA.
- You need a full trial dose of astaxanthin (this product under-doses it).
