How We Evaluate Forms

FormulaForge classifies supplement forms using a four-tier system based on published bioavailability research:

  • T1 Preferred — Highest bioavailability tier (S1), strongest clinical evidence for efficient absorption.
  • T2 Specialist — High to good bioavailability (S1–S2), appropriate for specific therapeutic goals or population needs.
  • T3 Customer Choice — Moderate to lower bioavailability; included because customer demand warrants availability.
  • T4 Mapped — Mapped to a T1 or T2 preferred form; dose is automatically adjusted for equivalent effect.

Each form’s bioavailability tier (S1–S4) is determined from published absorption studies. We do not expose raw dose conversion ratios or proprietary calculation methodology in public-facing content.

How We Rank Supplement Forms

FormulaForge ranks supplement forms using a proprietary four-tier system based on bioavailability research:

  • T1 Preferred — Highest bioavailability tier (S1). Best-researched, most efficiently absorbed form.

  • T3 Customer Choice — Moderate evidence. Available by request with informed consent.
  • T4 Mapped — Lower bioavailability. Mapped to T1/T2 alternatives with dose conversion guidance.

Bioavailability tiers (S1–S4) are assigned based on peer-reviewed absorption studies, with S1 indicating the highest demonstrated absorption. Our formulary is reviewed by Dr. Brennan Commerford, Chiropractic Physician.
