Scan any supplement and see what's really inside. GoodSupp gives every vitamin and supplement a clear quality score in seconds, flags hidden additives, and helps you find a better option when yours falls short. SCAN THE BARCODE, GET A SCORE Point your camera at a supplement barcode. GoodSupp checks it against a database of nearly 150,000 products from more than 10,000 brands and shows a quality score from 0 to 100, plus a separate brand score. WHAT THE SCORE LOOKS AT • Ingredient forms: well-absorbed forms like magnesium glycinate or methylfolate versus cheaper ones like magnesium oxide • Doses: whether each ingredient is within, below or above its typical range • Additives and fillers: dyes, preservatives and other extras, such as titanium dioxide or FD&C Red 40 • Third-party testing: certifications like USP Verified, NSF and Informed Choice • Brand trust: certifications and regulatory history behind the brand SPOT HIDDEN ADDITIVES Every ingredient is labeled Safe, Caution or Avoid, with a clear icon and color, so you can tell at a glance what to keep and what to skip. FIND A BETTER ALTERNATIVE When a product scores low, GoodSupp shows higher-scoring options in the same category, so switching takes one tap. PRODUCT NOT FOUND?

SmartChoice scans the barcode or label on food, beauty products, household cleaners, and supplements — and tells you in seconds what's really inside. ONE SCAN, EVERY AISLE • Food — a clear Approved / Caution / Not Approved verdict, with an editorial quality tier when the category supports it • Beauty & personal care — INCI ingredients checked for parabens, formaldehyde releasers, phthalates, and other flagged additives • Household cleaners — flags harsh and hazardous ingredients • Supplements — reads the Supplement Facts panel and flags what to watch KNOW WHAT EVERY INGREDIENT IS Tap any flagged ingredient to see what it is, why it's rated the way it is, and where it's restricted — grounded in regulatory data from the FDA, EFSA, and the WHO's IARC monographs. When Red 40 carries a warning in the EU, you see it. MAKE IT PERSONAL Sign in with Apple to save your allergens (the FDA Big 9 plus EU additions), diet preferences (vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal, and more), and health conditions. Every scan then checks against your profile and warns you the moment a product contains something you've flagged. FAMILY PROFILES One account carries a profile for every household member. A peanut allergy on your kid fires the warning even when you're the one scanning — and each warning names whose preference triggered it. CAN'T FIND IT? ADD IT If a product isn't in our database yet, snap a few photos of the label and get an instant assessment — and it's there for the next person who scans it. COMMUNITY, MODERATED Add a photo or video review after you've tried a product. Everything is reviewed before it appears, and you can report or hide anything inappropriate. Spot bad data on any product? Tap "Report incorrect info." SHARE & SAVE Star products to remember them, and share any verdict in a tap. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED The full scan-and-verdict experience works without signing in. An account just adds personalization. WHAT WE DON'T DO We're not a calorie tracker, we're not affiliated with any brand, and we're not medical, dietary, or regulatory advice. Verdicts are editorial opinions based on publicly available science and regulatory data. Always read the label — and for medicines or health conditions, talk to a professional. PRIVACY Without an account, your scan history stays on your phone. When you sign in, your preferences are saved to your account, and so are your scans, so we can alert you to recalls. Adding a product, or reading a receipt or menu, uses AI to read your photos, and the app asks first. Nothing is ever sold, and you can delete your account from Settings at any time.

Supplement Scanner's advantage is ratings volume (48 vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
