Most people know @MarsGlobal for iconic brands, not clinical trials. It also spent more than thirty years studying a single compound, cocoa flavanols, then tested it in one of the largest nutrition trials ever done: 21,442 people, followed for five years, to find out how the ingredient supports long-term health. The results (and a banana mistake that undoes part of the dose) in this edition of Inside the Formula with CocoaVia: supp.co/articles/tested-coco…

30,000 marathon runners cross the finish line. Somewhere between 30 and 300 of them end up in the medical tent with dangerously low blood sodium. đź§µ

In Part 2 of our electrolyte series, we dig into what sweat actually does, when electrolytes are worth it, and when plain water is all you need. đź’§

1/ A proprietary blend lists every ingredient and leaves out the one number you need: how much of each is in there. That's not a loophole. It's the rule working exactly as written. đź§µ

4/ The check that works on any blend: compare the total blend weight to the effective dose of the first ingredient. If the weight can't support even that first key ingredient, nothing listed after it is properly dosed either.

5/ Some blends are protected formulas backed by real trials. Others can be mostly cheap filler with a trendy ingredient sprinkled in. The label looks the same either way. This week's Science Corner shows you how to tell: supp.co/articles/science-cor…

1/ A doctor recommended white-labeled supplements for years with no idea who made them. When he finally checked, nearly all his favorites came from one company: @XYMOGEN. He’s now their Medical Director and Senior Director of Innovation.

2/ His take: they vet ingredients for months and don't swap suppliers just to save money. Our take: we bought their product anonymously and lab-tested it against the label. It passed. Full story → supp.co/articles/tested-xymo…

Microbiomes: your gut has one. So does your skin. So does everywhere else in your body. But they're not the same one. Many probiotics ignore that. Microbiome Labs™ didn't. supp.co/articles/tested-micr…

Most supplement companies start with an ingredient and build a marketing story around it. This team starts with a health concern, then goes looking for the strain with the strongest clinical evidence to support it, and only after that do they test the finished product in real-world trials. Microbiome Labs™ is now TESTED by SuppCo. ✓ — TESTED by SuppCo is an independent verification program that anonymously purchases supplements through normal retail channels and sends them to accredited labs, where active ingredients are tested for identity and potency against label claims. Only products that meet or exceed 95% of their label claims earn the certification. Brands pay to participate and this post is sponsored as part of the program. Results cannot be influenced and are published transparently pass or fail.

Berberine has real clinical evidence behind it. It also has a catch: less than 1% of what you take actually gets absorbed. We broke down the dosing, the forms that improve absorption, and the drug interactions worth knowing before you start: supp.co/articles/supplement-…

We lost the ability to make our own Vitamin C millions of years ago. For a long time, it looked like bad luck. Research suggests it might have been a trade we made on purpose. Our Head of Science breaks it down for you in this week's Science Corner ⬇️ supp.co/articles/science-cor…

They've built formulas around real clinical gaps - with every claim backed by long-term stability testing and clinical-dose trials, not social trends and launch-day marketing. DaVinci Laboratories is now officially TESTED by SuppCo.
