BioStacksSupplementScanner

BioStacks Supplement Scanner is an all-in-one supplement companion app built to help you quickly understand what’s actually in the bottle. Scan a product by barcode or photograph the Supplement Facts label to receive a scored assessment based on published clinical research.

The core experience is instant supplement scoring. Each ingredient is evaluated against human trial dose ranges, the product’s form and bioavailability, and the weight of the supporting evidence. The final 0–100 result reflects both effectiveness and evidence quality, with safety checks designed to prevent the score from being boosted by questionable ingredients—overdose risk and interaction concerns can only lower the result.

BioStacks also supports stack-level safety. It totals ingredients across the supplements you take and flags totals above tolerable upper limits and known risky combinations (for example, long-term zinc without copper). For prescription-drug interaction questions, you can share your stack link with a pharmacist.

BioStacks is made for health and wellness enthusiasts who want faster, research-based answers before committing to a supplement. The app is free to download on iOS and Android, and scanning and scoring work without payment; an optional premium subscription unlocks advanced analysis features.

How do I scan a supplement in BioStacks?

You can scan by barcode or by photographing the Supplement Facts label. BioStacks reads the ingredients, doses, and forms directly from the label when needed.

What does the 0–100 supplement score mean?

Ingredients are scored using three multiplied factors: clinical dose (compared to ranges used in human trials), form/bioavailability, and evidence weight (RCTs and meta-analyses weigh more). Safety issues can lower the final score but won’t raise it.

Can BioStacks score a supplement without a barcode or missing from its database?

Yes. If you can access the Supplement Facts panel, BioStacks reads the label and scores the product on the spot, including new launches and imported bottles.

Does BioStacks check supplement interactions?

It provides stack safety by summing ingredients across the products you take and flagging totals above tolerable upper limits and risky combinations. For prescription-drug interactions, share your stack link with a pharmacist.

Why do proprietary blends often score low?

Proprietary blends list a total blend weight without showing each ingredient’s exact dose. Since unverifiable doses can’t earn efficacy credit, blends are flagged and scored conservatively.

Is BioStacks free to use?

The app is free to download on iOS and Android, and scanning/scoring work without payment. An optional premium subscription unlocks advanced analysis features.
