A supplement arrives wrapped in marketing. Your report takes the wrapper off, one check at a time, in the order shown on this page. Nothing is invented along the way, and nothing is blurred to sound more certain than it is.
What is this product actually sold to do?
Every report starts with the claims on the product itself: the headline purpose, plus each specific printed claim worth checking. We keep the original wording. If the bottle says “supports calm”, that exact idea is what gets tested, not a vaguer one that is easier to pass.
Claims we cannot fairly test are named and set aside, not quietly dropped.
Did studies in people measure that same result?
Each claim is matched to human research that measured the same outcome. A sleep study cannot vouch for a stress claim. Research on a different preparation, or in people very unlike the person the product is sold to, stays visible as context, but it does not earn credit.
Who funded the research stays attached to it, so you can weigh it yourself.
Same ingredient, same form, a comparable amount?
Now the bottle has to match the research. Form and dose decide the answer: magnesium bisglycinate at 300 mg and magnesium oxide at 56 mg are not the same offer, even though both say “magnesium” on the front.
If the label hides an amount inside a blend, the check stops there, and the report says exactly that instead of guessing.
Supported, weak, tested and not shown, or unknowable?
The findings are written up in plain English, and the differences are kept sharp. “No relevant research yet” and “tested, and it did not work” are opposite situations, and your report never swaps one for the other. There are six possible endings for a claim, listed further down this page.
The wording layer can rearrange the facts for readability. It is not allowed to upgrade them.
What does it cost, and what does the label let you verify?
After the verdict is settled, the report adds the money and the label: cost per serving, fair comparisons where a fair basis exists, and a 0–100 label transparency score for how much the label actually discloses.
Context sits beside the verdict. It never creates it. A beautifully clear label cannot rescue a claim the evidence does not support.
The report is arranged so the answer comes first and the workings sit underneath it. Read the top and stop, or keep going until you are looking at the individual studies. Every layer is built from the same five checks.
One honest vocabulary, used everywhere. The report never rounds these up to “works” or down to “useless”, because the difference is the whole point.
Relevant human research supports the claimed result, and this product’s amount and preparation compare fairly with it.
There is relevant research, but study strength, the amount, the preparation or an important condition stops full credit.
The research supports the ingredient, but the amount on this label sits below what was studied.
Relevant studies tested the result and did not show the claimed benefit.
The ingredient has been studied, but for a different outcome. Useful context, not support for this claim.
The label, the preparation or our current coverage does not allow a fair conclusion. We name the gap rather than guess.
The only 0–100 number in a report measures label transparency: how much the label lets anyone verify. It now sits at the bottom of the report, because a clear label is not the same thing as an effective product. A perfectly transparent label can still describe a formula whose claims fall flat.
We read the label, we do not test the tub. Purity, contamination and whether the contents match the label are outside what a label analysis can see.
It is not personal advice. A report knows nothing about your medicines, conditions, pregnancy or allergies, and it cannot tell you what to take.
Gaps stay visible. “Not checked yet” is a gap in the label or our coverage. It is never rewritten as a negative result.
Reports can age. Labels, pack sizes and prices reflect the product when it was analysed. Tell us if it has changed and we will recheck.
De-Influenced is an educational supplement label analysis tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnose conditions, treat disease or classify products as medicines, and it does not tell you what supplements to take. Always speak to a qualified healthcare professional before changing your supplement routine.
Paste a product link and upload its label. The report follows the exact chain on this page, on the actual bottle in front of you.
