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.

Question 1

Does the molecule work?

The science behind each active ingredient, independent of which brand sells it.

Cheap B-vitamin; migraine prevention at 400 mg/day.

1 landmark RCT · US: Dietary supplement · EU: Food supplement

The active form of folate; better for those with MTHFR variants.

No landmark RCTs listed · US: Dietary supplement · EU: Food supplement

Deficiency common over 50 and in vegetarians; correcting it is essential.

No landmark RCTs listed · US: Dietary supplement · EU: Food supplement

Strain-specific benefits; forget 'total CFU' marketing.

No landmark RCTs listed · US: Dietary supplement · EU: Food supplement (some strains Novel Food)

Best-studied 'senolytic' ingredient, though evidence is early.

4 landmark RCTs · US: Dietary supplement · EU: Food supplement (extract-dependent)

Cheap, safe, and correcting a deficiency you probably have.

1 landmark RCT · US: Dietary supplement · EU: Food supplement (upper limit 100 μg/day)

Question 3

What's the catch?

Säkerhet flags, transparency gaps, dosing concerns, and recurring buyer complaints.

Säkerhet signals
Exceeds upper intake limit — vitamin-d3
17.0 mg per portion exceeds the tolerable upper intake level of 0.1 mg/day. UL is 100 mcg/day (4,000 IU/day; equivalent to 0.1 mg) for adults. Toxicity causes hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria; extremely high serum levels can lead to kidney failure and arrhythmias.

Bevisning

Research behind this product

The studies that established the trial dose and evidence grade for each active ingredient in this product. Click through to read the original paper.

Important to know
Riboflavin (B2)Turns urine bright yellow (harmless).
Folate (5-MTHF)Folic acid (the synthetic form) can mask B12 deficiency. Choose methylfolate.
Vitamin B12Metformin depletes B12; check yearly if on it.
ProbioticsRefrigerated ≠ better if the strain is shelf-stable. Look for CFU at expiry, not at manufacture.
QuercetinPlain quercetin dihydrate has poor absorption. Phytosome forms deliver 10 to 20× more into blood.
Vitamin D3Taking without fat = poor absorption. High-dose D3 without K2 can drive calcium into arteries. D2 form (ergocalciferol) is inferior for raising blood levels.
Vitamin D3High doses (>4000 IU/day) may cause hypercalcemia. Do not exceed upper intake limits without medical supervision.

Redaktionellt notes

Primarily a caffeine-free nootropic/energy product (ginseng, theacrine, methylliberine) rather than a longevity supplement; it contains PQQ and K2 MK-7 in an undisclosed-dose 17mg blend, making its longevity relevance marginal and secondary to its stated cognitive-energy positioning.

In plain language

Why this scored this way

This Seed Health Seed AM-02 Energy + Focus scores 5.4, making it among the lowest-scoring produkter we track. It delivers the full 17.0mg trial dose of Vitamin D3 with grade A evidence (strong human trial data). At $358.87/day it's among the more expensive options in Cognition.

What drives the score up

  • Vitamin D3 is dosed at the full research level with grade A evidence (strong human trial data).

What drags it down

  • Dose-evidence score of 5.6 is below average for the site.
  • Overall dose is only 0% of the trial dose across ingredients.
  • Riboflavin (B2) (1.3mg is 0% of the 400mg trial dose) is significantly under-dosed.
  • Vitamin B12 (0.0024mg is 0% of the 1mg trial dose) is significantly under-dosed.
  • Quercetin (33.0mg is 7% of the 500mg trial dose) is significantly under-dosed.

Why you'd choose it

  • You want Vitamin D3 from a Seed Health product.
  • You want a tested by independent lab product.

Why you might skip it

  • You want a product with a publicly available CoA.
  • You need a full trial dose of riboflavin (this product under-doses it).
