Know exactly what's in your supplements.
Supplements analyzes the ingredients in sports nutrition products, vitamins, and dietary supplements to help you understand exactly what you are putting into your body. The supplement industry is notoriously opaque, with products often containing fillers, artificial sweeteners, and undisclosed compounds that may not align with your health goals. This app cuts through the marketing hype by providing a transparent, science-based analysis of every ingredient on the label, giving you the information you need to choose products that are safe, effective, and compliant with athletic regulations.
The app includes a database of 163 ingredients commonly found in supplements, each classified by safety profile, efficacy evidence, and regulatory status. From protein powders and pre-workouts to multivitamins and herbal extracts, Supplements identifies the active ingredients, fillers, artificial sweeteners, and potentially harmful compounds in any product you scan. Each ingredient entry includes information about recommended dosages, bioavailability, and what current research says about its effectiveness.
For competitive athletes, the WADA banned substance detection feature is critical. The app cross-references every ingredient against the World Anti-Doping Agency's prohibited list, alerting you immediately if a supplement contains any substance that could result in a positive doping test. This includes not just obvious prohibited substances but also compounds that are chemically similar to banned substances or that have been found as contaminants in supplements from certain manufacturers.
The built-in product comparator allows you to place two supplements side by side and compare their ingredient profiles, purity scores, additive loads, and WADA compliance status. This is especially useful when choosing between competing brands or deciding whether a premium product justifies its price over a budget alternative. Supplements provides evidence-based information about ingredient dosage and bioavailability, so you can evaluate whether a product delivers effective amounts of its active ingredients.
A comprehensive database of 163 supplement ingredients with safety classifications, efficacy evidence, recommended dosages, and bioavailability information for each compound.
Instantly cross-reference supplement ingredients against the World Anti-Doping Agency prohibited list. Essential for competitive athletes who must avoid inadvertent doping violations.
Evaluate the purity of supplement formulations by identifying fillers, flow agents, artificial colors, and unnecessary additives that dilute the active ingredient content.
Compare two supplements side by side across all metrics — ingredient quality, purity score, WADA status, additive content, and overall grade — to make the best purchasing decision.
See whether a product provides effective doses of its active ingredients based on published research. Identify under-dosed products that rely on proprietary blends to hide low amounts.
Available in German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, and Romanian — supporting athletes and health-conscious users across multiple countries.
Point your camera at the barcode on any supplement product — protein powders, pre-workouts, vitamins, or herbal extracts. The scanner recognizes all standard formats.
Every ingredient is matched against our database of 163 supplement compounds, identifying active ingredients, fillers, sweeteners, and potentially harmful additives.
All ingredients are automatically screened against the current WADA prohibited substance list, flagging any compounds that could cause a positive doping test.
A final grade from A to E is calculated based on ingredient purity, WADA compliance, filler content, additive safety, and evidence-based efficacy of the formulation.
Supplements is powered by an internal database built from sports nutrition research, the WADA prohibited substance list, and supplement safety studies. The ingredient safety classifications draw from research published by the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and peer-reviewed sports medicine journals. Each of the 163 ingredients has been individually assessed for safety, efficacy, and regulatory status.
The WADA compliance data is sourced directly from the World Anti-Doping Agency's annually updated prohibited list and cross-referenced with known contamination incidents reported by independent testing laboratories. Dosage and bioavailability information is derived from clinical trials and systematic reviews published in journals such as the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition and the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
How Supplements calculates grades
Excellent — High purity, WADA compliant, no harmful additives, effective dosing. A top-quality supplement with clean formulation.
Good — WADA compliant with minor fillers or artificial sweeteners. Generally safe and effective with small formulation compromises.
Moderate — Contains several fillers or low-risk additives. May have sub-optimal dosing of active ingredients. Acceptable but not ideal.
Poor — High filler content, questionable additives, or under-dosed active ingredients. May contain ingredients of concern for athletes.
Avoid — Contains WADA prohibited substances, harmful compounds, or severely compromised formulation. Not recommended for use.
Grades are calculated based on ingredient purity, WADA compliance status, filler content, additive safety, and evidence-based efficacy. The algorithm weighs WADA compliance most heavily for competitive athletes, while also evaluating whether active ingredients are present in clinically effective doses and whether unnecessary additives compromise product quality.
