Supplement partners, how we rate them

80 supplement brands a coach might talk about with a client. This page is not an encyclopedia of individual supplements. The 15 featured cards below are the main Tier A names. The full table lists all 80, including MLM and other Tier D brands that stay as warnings. Aaron is the guide. Brands make the products. Labs and clinicians do their own jobs.

Read this first

  • Coach, not doctor. Aaron Cuha is a coach. He does not claim any medical license, and neither does this page. Nothing here diagnoses, treats or prescribes. Educational use only. This database summarizes published research and is not medical advice. Where a dose appears it is a record of what a trial or clinic ran, or what people describe doing, with its source attached. Nothing here is a recommendation for personal use.
  • Supplements are not drugs. A dietary supplement is not an FDA-approved medicine. NAD boosters (NMN, NR, NAD+) are supplements too, and the rules on what they can claim can change. Brands may only say how a product supports the body, not that it treats a disease. Pharmacy-made peptides and GLP-1s belong on the clinician-backed list, not here.
  • Knowledge stays free. Knowledge stays free. Every page, every guide and every tool is free to read and stays free. Each card links to the brand's own site. No partner paid to be listed. No partner wrote a card.

How we rate

We describe supplement brands by how they test their products, how honest their claims are, whether their products match what this site covers, how much they can be trusted and where in the US they sell. If a brand wants the coach to diagnose disease, promise cures or sound like a drug ad, they fail. Grades are directory scores, not medical endorsements, and they do not rank one brand against another.

What we checkHow much it countsWhat we look at
Third-party testing and quality signalsCounts most for trustStrong signs are seals from outside testers: NSF Certified for Sport, USP Verified, Informed-Sport or Informed-Choice, and ConsumerLab. USDA Organic and the Non-GMO Project seal also count. So do public lab reports (COAs) and a named factory that follows federal good manufacturing rules (cGMP). A "third-party tested" claim with no named lab counts for less. No mention of testing at all is a weak sign.
Claim honesty and complianceOne serious problem drops the grade hardA good sign is a brand that only claims to support normal body function. Pushy anti-aging claims, detox "cures", or claims that a supplement replaces hormones drop the grade hard. Brands that sell NAD precursors always carry a legal caution. These are supplements, not drugs approved by the FDA, and the rules keep changing.
Product fit for the Archive audienceHow well it fits the ArchiveThese score higher: protein, electrolytes (salts for hydration), creatine, adaptogens (herbs for stress), sleep, gut health, inflammation support, collagen, vitamins and minerals, NAD precursors, and metabolism support. Candy-style kids vitamins, beauty-only fluff, and hyped fat-burners score lower. The exception is when they serve a named group of clients.
Trust, reviews, and brand integrityOne serious problem drops the grade hardA long track record, respect from clinicians, and a clean record with regulators all help. Warning letters from the FDA, orders from the FTC, signs of fake reviews, and a heavy MLM (multi-level marketing) setup call for caution. They can also mean we do not contact the brand at all.
US reachNeeded for a national listShipping online orders across the whole US is strong. Small brands that only serve one region score lower. The exception is when they clearly serve clients coached from a distance.

We never reach out to: brands built mainly on MLM selling, sales pages full of disease claims, made-up contacts, prescription compounding pharmacies (those are on the clinician list) and 'research use' chemicals sold as supplements.4 MLM names stay on this page so you can see why they are left out. They are not featured, and they are not on our first-round contact list.

How a health coach should use this

Educate and refer only. You can walk a client through what a brand publishes, and whether it names a lab certificate (COA) or an NSF or USP quality seal. You cannot diagnose, treat or promise a health result.

Many brands sold through health professionals (Pure Encapsulations, Designs for Health, Ortho Molecular, Metagenics, Standard Process) only sell to people with certain credentials. This page says so. It does not open an account.

A row marked white-label or contract-made means the coach would put their own name on the label. Ask for a lab certificate for every single product before you treat that as a sign of quality. This page does not rank one brand against another.

Never send a client to a shop selling 'research use only' peptides as if it sold supplements. Those sellers are named and graded on the price pages. They are not on this page. Peptide and GLP-1 clinics are on clinician-backed partners.

What this page does not do

It does not tell you which brand is best. Our scoring does not test supplement companies against each other, and a grade is not a final verdict. It does not cover single supplements: when you need one, what blood tests to run, how to read the results or what to order. That lives in the supplements section and on the compound pages. This list is brand partners only. It does not list 'research use' peptide sellers or pharmacy programs run with clinicians. It does not make up an email. Each card links to the brand's own site.

80 brands from the 2026-09-20 coach-eligible supplement shortlist. Reviewed 2026-09-20. We never charge for knowledge. No vendor has a say in what a page says. The harder test is whether a page tells you what went against it.
