How the Score is built.
The NutraVeri Score is deterministic: the same formula, claims, and inputs always produce the same score. Every dimension traces to public data and published evidence, not to opinion. This page names the sources, explains the logic, and is plain about the limits.
The six dimensions.
Formula Strength
Ingredient count, combination logic, and whether doses sit inside evidence-supported ranges.
Ingredient Evidence
The strength of the published evidence behind each ingredient at the chosen dose.
Claim Safety
How close your claim language sits to disease or treatment territory under FDA and FTC guidance.
Label Readiness
Whether the declared formula, claims, and structure are organized for a clean label review.
Manufacturing Readiness
Format complexity, ingredient handling risk, and how production-ready the formula is.
Market Fit
Goal clarity, audience definition, and how the concept positions against its category.
The data sources.
All sources are public. None of them are partnerships, endorsements, or affiliations.
FDA labeling databases (including DSLD)
The Dietary Supplement Label Database and related FDA labeling data inform ingredient, dose, and label context.
FDA warning letter archive
Public enforcement letters show which claim and label patterns draw regulatory attention.
FDA import alerts
Public alerts flag ingredients and suppliers with documented import problems.
CAERS
The FDA's adverse event reporting system contributes ingredient risk signals.
FTC guidance and enforcement actions
Advertising substantiation standards and public cases inform claim risk screening.
GRAS notices
Generally Recognized as Safe notices contribute ingredient status context.
NIH and peer-reviewed literature
Office of Dietary Supplements resources and published research inform evidence ranges and dosing.
Regulatory and evidence review
Ingredient evidence postureThe scoring logic.
Each dimension is scored 0 to 100 from measurable formula properties: evidence grades per ingredient, doses against published ranges, claim phrasing against guidance patterns, formula complexity, and goal clarity. The master score is a weighted blend, with formula strength, ingredient evidence, and claim safety carrying the most weight. Nothing is hand-tuned per user, and there is no randomness: a founder can change one input and watch exactly which dimension moves.
Regulatory posture, stated plainly.
NutraVeri provides informational product-readiness intelligence. It is not legal advice, medical advice, or regulatory approval. Dietary supplement products are not FDA-approved, and a NutraVeri Score does not certify that any product, claim, label, or business is compliant, approved, safe, effective, or commercially viable. A high score means the concept appears well prepared for the next level of review. It does not remove the need for that review.
What NutraVeri does
- · Scores a supplement concept across six readiness dimensions
- · Screens claim language against public FDA and FTC guidance
- · Checks doses against published evidence ranges
- · Organizes formula, claims, and score into a portable record
- · Connects a scored concept to an FDA-registered, cGMP-aligned manufacturing path
What NutraVeri does not do
- · Approve, certify, or clear any product (the FDA does not approve dietary supplements)
- · Provide legal, medical, or regulatory advice
- · Guarantee compliance, safety, efficacy, or commercial outcome
- · Replace review by qualified legal and regulatory professionals
- · Predict enforcement decisions or shield a brand from them
Limitations.
The score is a point-in-time read of public data and published evidence. Regulations change, enforcement priorities shift, and evidence evolves. A score cannot see your supply chain, your manufacturing execution, or claims made outside the scored concept. Final formulation, label, claim, and compliance decisions should always be reviewed with qualified professionals before launch.
