Supplement Evidence Dataset v1
Dataset Description
A curated, evidence-graded dataset of 64+ supplement products across 14 categories, built for researchers, developers, and consumers who want transparent, structured supplement data grounded in clinical evidence.
Each row represents a single supplement product with standardized fields for elemental dose, cost-per-day, third-party certification status, evidence grade, and PubMed citation IDs linking to the underlying clinical trials and systematic reviews.
Source: Verified Supplement Data — an evidence-based supplement comparison database with 116+ pages, structured JSON-LD schema, and PubMed-cited evidence grades.
Methodology
- Product selection: Products were selected based on market availability (Amazon US), brand reputation, third-party certification status, and relevance to clinical dosing targets.
- Dosing: All doses are reported as elemental/active ingredient per serving (not compound weight). For magnesium glycinate, this is elemental magnesium; for iron bisglycinate, this is elemental iron; for omega-3, this is combined EPA+DHA.
- Cost-per-day: Calculated as
(price / servings_per_container) * servings_needed_for_clinical_dose. Prices reflect Amazon US pricing as of March 2026. - Evidence grading: Each category receives an evidence grade based on the highest level of available evidence:
- strong — Supported by systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or large RCTs with consistent findings
- moderate — Supported by individual RCTs or observational studies with plausible mechanisms
- limited — Preliminary evidence, mechanistic rationale, or expert consensus only
- Third-party certifications: Reported exactly as stated on the product label (USP Verified, NSF Certified for Sport, IFOS 5-Star, Informed Sport, etc.).
- PubMed citations: PMID numbers link to the primary clinical evidence supporting each category's evidence grade and use case.
