Tiers name what a vendor publishes, not a verdict on any product's purity or quality. Lab-verifiable COAs: certificates that open on the testing lab's own site (the seal's ring shows what share of them do). Third-party COAs: certificates attributed to a third-party lab, which may be hosted only on the vendor's site. Tiers follow the Vendor Score (90+ and 80–89), which is 87% COA evidence; the numeral in each seal is that score. Affiliate relationships never affect tiers, selection or order. How the Vendor Score works
A small-molecule AMPK activator studied in research on exercise-mimetic and metabolic pathways.
Evidence brief
