# SVPPLEMENTS

> SVPPLEMENTS is an independent supplement marketplace that scores every product on a transparent 6-dimension rubric (clinical dosing, label transparency, manufacturing, third-party testing, inactive ingredients, value) and publishes the algorithm. Built and audited by Trenton Garza, a brick-and-mortar supplement store owner with 14 years of industry experience. The SuppVault Score lets shoppers verify which supplements are clinically dosed, certified for sport (NSF Certified for Sport, Informed Sport, BSCG), and worth the money — instead of relying on opaque brand marketing.

## Trust & Methodology (start here)

- [The SuppVault Score Methodology](https://svpplements.com/pages/methodology): How the 0-100 SuppVault Score is calculated — 6 weighted dimensions, prop blend handling, ingredient-by-ingredient evidence tiers, the algorithm's known blind spots.
- [Full Scoring Algorithm (with Python code)](https://svpplements.com/pages/scoring-algorithm): The actual code that computes every score, clinical dose thresholds for 11 key pre-workout ingredients, the 7-stage data pipeline (Vision OCR → Normalization → Research → Cross-check → Compliance → Score → Category weighting), and how to audit any specific score yourself.
- [Trenton Garza — Author Hub](https://svpplements.com/pages/trenton-garza): Who I am, why you should trust me on supplements (and where you shouldn't), credentials and conflicts of interest, contact via Instagram (@trentongarza).
- [Supplement Certifications Explained](https://svpplements.com/pages/certifications): NSF Certified for Sport vs Informed Sport vs BSCG vs GMP — what each tests, who should care (NCAA, military, tested athletes, parents, regular consumers), and the red flags to avoid ("FDA Approved" is a lie for supplements).
- [Athlete Compliance Hub](https://svpplements.com/pages/athlete-compliance): WADA / NCAA / military banned-substance guidance, which certifications matter for which league.
- [100-Day Satisfaction Guarantee](https://svpplements.com/pages/guarantee): Opened products accepted, full refund to original payment method, prepaid return label, no restocking fees.
