Who We Are
HealthPickHub is a health supplement review platform with a single mission: help you cut through the noise and find products genuinely worth buying.
The supplement market is flooded with exaggerated marketing claims, and most online “recommendations” are undisclosed ads or conflict-of-interest reviews. We believe consumers deserve objective, science-based comparisons — so that’s what we build.
About the Author
I’m a software engineer based in Taiwan with a personal interest in health supplement research. After growing frustrated with the low quality of most online supplement “recommendations” — mostly undisclosed ads or shallow listicles — I built this site to do things differently.
HealthPickHub is a solo project I maintain outside of work. Every article involves reviewing PubMed literature and cross-referencing third-party testing sources like NSF and ConsumerLab. It’s not a media company, so updates are slower — but every recommendation is genuinely researched before it goes up.
Our Review Criteria
Every recommended product is evaluated across six dimensions:
| Dimension | What We Assess |
|---|---|
| Ingredient Quality | Raw material sourcing (Albion, Kaneka, Life’s OMEGA, etc.), bioavailable forms (e.g. methylcobalamin vs cyanocobalamin) |
| Dosage Appropriateness | Alignment with NIH DRI recommendations or clinically studied effective doses |
| Third-Party Certification | Independent testing by NSF, USP, IFOS, Informed Sport, or ConsumerLab |
| Safety | Heavy metal, contaminant, and adulteration risk assessment |
| Transparency | Whether brands publish complete ingredient labels and lab reports |
| Value | Cost per unit of absorbed active ingredient (not just label weight) |
