Suppie vs Examine
Examine explains ingredients. Suppie grades the product in your hand.
Both take the evidence seriously. They answer different questions, for different people.
Examine
A research library
Evidence summaries on ingredients and health outcomes, a study database and supplement guides, plus a Clinician Edition built for health professionals. Its depth suits people who want to read and weigh the research themselves. By its own policy, it doesn’t recommend supplement brands or grade specific products.

Scan any label and get a graded report on that exact formula: whether each dose and form matches what was studied, how strong the evidence is, how safe it is and how every inactive ingredient rates, ending in a plain verdict. Built for anyone deciding what to take.
