Our Standard
My Supplement Boost · Our Standard
What a product has to clear before it earns a place here.
Four rules decide what we stock — and they're the reason some things we could sell at a healthy margin aren't on this site at all.
Most supplement stores tell you what a product might do for you. We'd rather tell you what's actually in it, what the research does and doesn't support, and where our own product falls short of the dose the studies used. Every page on this site is written to hold up to a skeptical reader with a search engine open. That's the whole business.
The four rules
01Every dose printed
If we can't tell you how much of the active ingredient is in a serving, it doesn't earn a spot. The amount goes on the label and on the page, in the units the research actually uses — not buried, not rounded up, and not hidden inside one big total that mixes a dozen things together.
02We show every dose we can — and flag the blends that hide one
Some manufacturers combine ingredients into a "proprietary blend" and print only the blend's total weight, so you can't see how much of each thing you're getting. That's legal, and it's common. When a product we carry uses one, we say so plainly on its page and tell you exactly what the blend does and doesn't reveal. We won't pretend the number is bigger than it is.
03Made where it's audited
Every product is made in the USA in an FDA-registered facility. Here's the part most brands are happy to let you misread: FDA-registered is not FDA-approved. The FDA does not approve dietary supplements before they go on sale. "Registered" means the facility is on file with the FDA and subject to inspection under current Good Manufacturing Practice rules — a real standard about how a product is made, not a government endorsement of what it does. We'd rather explain that than let the word do work it hasn't earned.
04We won't overclaim
Where the evidence behind an ingredient is strong, we say so. Where it's early or thin, the page says that too — in the same size type. And when our own dose sits below the amount used in the studies, we tell you on the product page, even when it costs us the sale. These are supplements, not medicine: nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and we won't write as if it were.
How we grade the evidence
Every product page sorts its claims into three honest buckets, so you can see at a glance how much weight to give each one:
We apply the same three labels to our best-studied flagship products and our least-studied ones alike. The grade never softens because we'd like to sell more of something.
What we won't sell
Some ingredients are profitable and still don't belong in anyone's cabinet. We don't stock stimulants and research chemicals that regulators have restricted or that carry a record of real harm — among them DMAA, DMHA, phenibut, tianeptine, and vinpocetine. If a supplier offers us one, the answer is no, whatever the margin. This is the clearest test of whether a standard means anything: it has to cost you something.
The uncomfortable parts are on the page on purpose — the doses below the research, the ingredients that don't do much, the reasons to skip a product entirely. That isn't modesty; it's the point. If a page ever tells you less than you could find out on your own, we've failed our own standard.
My Supplement Boost is a small, independently owned Florida company. The email on every page reaches its owner directly — a real person who answers for what's printed on these labels. More about us
