Product analysis

68 out of 100

Adrenogen supplies B vitamins that may help reduce tiredness when intake is low. It also contains an ingredient from cattle, which matters if you avoid animal-derived supplements.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality59

B6 is clearly identified and B5 uses a favorably supported form. Riboflavin and PABA lack form details, while the named cattle-derived ingredient remains difficult to judge for quality.

Ingredient Transparency85

All listed amounts and several forms are disclosed. Riboflavin and PABA still lack the detail needed for close form comparisons.

Value For Money61

The cost is reasonably favorable for B6 and riboflavin. B5 and PABA offer less value at the amounts supplied.

Customer Satisfaction72

Customer ratings are very positive. The small review base provides a limited picture of satisfaction.

Product Focus66

The clearest supported role comes from B vitamins helping fill gaps associated with tiredness. The additional ingredients do not establish a greater energy benefit for the combination.

Vitamin B5 · 50 mgRiboflavin · 10 mg

Riboflavin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B5 help reduce tiredness when intake is low. Their nutritional roles support filling dietary gaps rather than establishing a general energy boost. The supplied amounts contribute to the saved comparison, without demonstrating a larger fatigue benefit from high amounts or a combined formula.
