Fit is the number top-right of every card: how much sense that supplement makes for the profile you've picked, out of 10. Green 7+ is a great fit, amber is situational, red is a poor use of money.
How to read the four meters on each card
Evidence — further right, stronger trial support.
Diet gap — further right, harder to get enough from food alone, so a supplement makes more sense.
Cost — further right, more expensive per month. Left is cheap.
Side effects — further right, more common or more serious. 🙂 low · 😐 some · 😣 real caution.

Best option for your stack

Your stack, priced across Australian online retailers that ship nationally, with delivery included. Ranked cheapest to your door, using as few shops as possible.

Include iHerbShips from the US in 5–10 days. iHerb blocks automated price checks, so nothing changes until their official price feed is connected. Then this switch pulls their prices into the comparison.
Find my productsEvery price above is one we read off the retailer's own product page. No estimates — only delivery is estimated where a shop doesn't publish a rate.

How shipping is worked out

Published rates used where they exist: Chemist Warehouse free over $70, else $8.95 (their threshold moves with promos — currently as low as $30 on fast delivery). Other retailers are added as their product pages join the catalogue.

Blanket rule where a store doesn't publish a rate: $9.95 flat, which is the rounded median of the published Australian parcel rates above. Anything using that rule is tagged est. in the breakdown.

Delivery to a standard metro or regional address. Remote postcodes can attract surcharges on Amazon and Nutrition Warehouse.

Why Verdee

The verdict, for your life, delivered cheapest.

Every other app stops at "is this legit?". Verdee keeps going: what makes sense for your job and body, how many things you should realistically take, and the cheapest way to get them to an Australian door — then keeps checking prices every day and the research every week.

Fresh, and sourced

Prices refresh every day at 4:00am AEST, research every Sunday, and every card shows where its numbers came from. The counters below are calculated from the actual score cards in this build — nothing is padded.

✓Sources counts every citation, including the papers we pull from PubMed each Sunday. PubMed doesn't index sample sizes, so the participants figure only covers citations a clinician has read and recorded.
✓Counts as evidence: Cochrane systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomised controlled trials, ISSN and specialist-society position stands, national guidelines (NHMRC, WHO, NICE).
✓Counts as a credible medical source: NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, TGA, EFSA, university and hospital clinical pages — used for safety limits and dosing, never for efficacy claims.
✕Never used: brand websites, influencer content, preprints that haven't been peer-reviewed, single small trials funded by the seller without independent replication, forum anecdotes. If that's all a claim has, the card says so and the verdict is Overhyped.

On launch the backend adds live counters for each run: searches made, papers screened, changes proposed, changes approved. This build shows the snapshot from 8 Sep 2026.

Why us?

Three apps already answer "is this supplement legit?" well. None of them tell you what makes sense for your job and body, or the cheapest way to get it to an Australian door.

Where they beat us today: database size. We score ingredients, not products, so 100 ingredients already cover the majority of what's on a pharmacy shelf — and the pipeline below is how it grows.

How it stays current

Verdee runs two agents behind the app. This prototype shows a snapshot dated 8 Sep 2026; the live version replaces every estimate with a real figure.

Weekly · Monday 2:00am AEST
Discovery scanSearches the web for every Australian retailer page selling each of the 100 supplements — 18 retailers on the list plus iHerb — and adds any new pages it finds.
Daily · 4:00am AEST
Price scanOpens every one of those pages, reads the current price, RRP and stock, and stores it. Every card, your stack total and the shop prices read from that database — nothing typed in, nothing estimated. Each item shows how many retailer pages were checked.
Weekly · Sunday 2:00am AEST
Research agentSearches PubMed and the Cochrane Library for new systematic reviews, meta-analyses and large trials on every ingredient. Reads each new paper against the current score card and proposes changes: evidence, diet gap, side effects, and the fit for each cohort. Nothing publishes on its own.
Monday
Clinician reviewEvery proposed change is approved or rejected by a clinician. Approved changes re-rank the list for every cohort, write a plain-English changelog entry ("Caffeine moved from 4th to 3rd for runners"), and notify anyone whose stack is affected.
As you slide
Verdee's verdictThe ticket under your suggested stack is written from your cohort brief, refinement, the picks, what the budget cut and any test-first flags. In this prototype we assemble it from the score cards; in the live app we write it from the same inputs plus your actual stack and the latest papers.

What's in it

What we won't do

No paid placement in the rankings, ever. No "immune-boosting" copy. No greens-powder affiliate deals. If the trials say a thing is overhyped, it says Overhyped in red, no matter who sells it.

Verdee Plus

For free we tell you what to take and what it costs today. With Plus we tell you when to buy, how much, and whether the sale is real.

Pharmacy "half price" specials are often the same price as three weeks ago. With Plus we keep every product's price history, call out fake sales, and when a genuine one lands we tell you how many packs to buy to last until the next one. That's where the money is — not one pack at half price, three.

What stays free

All 100 verdicts. All 16 cohorts and refinements. Your suggested stack and Verdee's verdict. My stack with interaction checks and every shop's price in one place. We don't paywall the honest answer — that's the whole point of the app.

🎉 The guarantee

If Plus doesn't save you more than it costs in a month, we refund the difference. Save $2.99, we refund $2.00. Save nothing, we refund the lot. We measure it on purchases made through Verdee links against the retailer's full price that day, and we refund the difference automatically.

What the labels mean

BackedMultiple strong trials show a consistent, meaningful effect for most people.
SituationalReal evidence, but it only kicks in for a specific person or circumstance.
OverhypedTrials consistently show a weak, marginal, or no effect over placebo.

How the leaderboard moves

How the fit score is calculated. Each supplement has a base fit for each cohort, 0–10, set from two things: the strength of its evidence (Cochrane reviews, meta-analyses and large RCTs, scored 0–10 on the card) and how relevant that evidence is to the cohort's actual physiology and gaps. That's the number in the bubble.

How the ranking is ordered. Sort by fit, highest first. Ties are broken in this order: higher evidence score → fewer side effects (lower side-effect score) → lower monthly cost → name. So two supplements at 7/10 are never equal: the one with stronger trials sits above, and if those tie, the safer one, then the cheaper one.

How movement is measured. The app stores each supplement's rank, fit and evidence score for your cohort once a day. A 24h move is shown only when the fit or evidence score itself has changed since the last snapshot — new supplements joining the list don't count. Score changes come from one place: the Sunday research run proposes them from new papers, a clinician approves them on Monday, and the paper is recorded under "Last score change".

How the meters work

Every supplement is scored out of ten on four things. The big number on each card is fit — how much sense it makes for the profile you've selected, combining evidence with how relevant it actually is to that situation.

EvidenceHow consistently trials back the claim on the label.
Diet gapEven on a genuinely good diet, how much this still fills a real gap.
CostTypical pharmacy price for a month.
Side effectsHow often, and how unpleasant, at normal doses.

Can you just take everything?

Short answer: no, and the research is clear on why. Calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium share the same intestinal transporter (DMT1), so taking them together means absorbing less of each — calcium alone cuts iron absorption by 50–60% in single-dose studies. Zinc above 50mg a day long-term depletes copper. Fat-soluble vitamins (D, A, E, K), fish oil and curcumin need a meal with fat; iron and probiotics want an empty stomach; magnesium and melatonin belong at night.

That's why the suggested stack picks one supplement per job, caps at five, and gives you a morning / with-food / evening plan. Spacing competing minerals by two hours fixes most of it. Beyond that, no trial has ever shown a big stack beating a small targeted one — you're paying for redundancy.

Sources & limits

Scores are drawn from Cochrane systematic reviews, peer-reviewed meta-analyses and large randomised trials, cited in short form on each card.

How the AUD per month is worked out. Every supplement has a standard pack (shown in My stack) and a standard daily dose (shown on its card). Months of supply = units in the pack ÷ daily dose ÷ 30. Monthly cost = the cheapest Australian pack price in the current snapshot ÷ months of supply. The same price table drives the Browse cards, My stack, so they always agree — and when prices refresh, everything recalculates from that one table.

Not medical advice. A real, tested deficiency changes the maths completely — iron and vitamin D especially are worth a blood test before you start. If you're on other medication (particularly blood thinners) or have a kidney, liver or thyroid condition, check with a pharmacist first.

The legal bit, in plain English

Verdee is a guide, not a doctor. Everything in this app is general information about supplement ingredients, drawn from published research. It isn't medical advice, it isn't a diagnosis, and it isn't tailored to your medical history. Before starting, stopping or combining supplements — especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication, or managing a condition — talk to your GP or pharmacist. If something feels wrong, seek medical care; don't wait on an app.

Not a medical device. Verdee doesn't diagnose, treat, monitor or prevent any disease or condition, and it isn't registered with the TGA as a therapeutic good. The cohort profiles describe lifestyles and situations, not medical conditions.

We earn a commission. When you open a retailer from My stack and purchase, Verdee may receive a small commission from that retailer at no extra cost to you. This never affects a verdict, a score, or a ranking — the evidence is scored before we know where anything is sold, and paid placement isn't offered at any price.

Prices belong to the retailer. Prices, stock and delivery costs are read from retailer pages and can change at any time. The price you pay is the one at their checkout, not the one shown here. Verdee isn't the seller and isn't responsible for orders, delivery or returns.

Your consumer rights are untouched. Nothing here limits the guarantees you have under the Australian Consumer Law. To the extent the law allows, Verdee isn't liable for loss arising from reliance on the information in the app.

Privacy. The free app stores your stack and profile on your own device. With an account (Plus), we store your email, profile choices, stack and purchase-tracking data needed for the savings guarantee, in Australia, and never sell it. You can delete your account and data at any time from the app.

Plus and the guarantee. Plus is $4.99 a month, cancel any time. The savings guarantee counts purchases made through Verdee links only, measured against the retailer's full price on the day; if your tracked savings in a calendar month are less than $4.99, the difference is refunded automatically.
