India Supplement
Brands — Scored
Every brand rated on five dimensions: label accuracy, dosing, FSSAI compliance, third-party testing, and rupee value. No paid placements. No affiliate deals with reviewed brands.
Label Accuracy + Dosing
Does the product deliver what the label claims? Are active ingredient doses in the clinically validated range? We weight independently-initiated blind-purchase COAs (Trustified, Unbox Health, Informed Sport) above brand-commissioned tests.
FSSAI Compliance + 3P Testing
FSSAI licensing is mandatory in India — absence is an immediate flag. Third-party testing score reflects both the independence and depth of testing: independent blind-purchase > brand-commissioned > internal QC.
Rupee Value
Cost per gram of active ingredient, benchmarked against the best-value equivalent in that category. A brand selling generic creatine monohydrate at 3× the market rate scores low on value regardless of other attributes.
Flag definitions
"Proprietary blend" = any blend where individual ingredient doses are not disclosed. "Brand-commissioned COA only" = COA exists but was initiated by the brand, not by an independent third party purchasing from retail.
