Product analysis

54 out of 100

Craving and Stress Support provides B vitamins for normal energy metabolism when dietary intake falls short. Its proprietary blend does not identify individual components, leaving part of the formula unclear.

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

Nutrient Quality55

Thiamin and riboflavin preparations are clearly identified, while several other quality comparisons remain uncertain. The unnamed proprietary blend leaves part of the formula unassessable.

Ingredient Transparency71

All listed amounts and most B-vitamin preparations are disclosed. Folate form details and the proprietary blend components are missing.

Value For Money33

The combined serving is relatively expensive in the riboflavin comparison. Thiamin is not especially economical, and value for the other vitamins remains uncertain.

Customer Satisfaction71

Customer feedback is positive. The relatively small review base gives a narrower picture of satisfaction.

Product Focus39

The B vitamins support normal energy metabolism and may help fatigue related to inadequate intake. The unidentified blend prevents a complete account of the formula, so the wider stress and craving purposes remain uncertain.

Benfotiamine 150 mg

Doctor's Best

Benfotiamine provides a highly bioavailable thiamine form at a potent but practical amount.

Lake Avenue Nutrition
