SuppCo Takes On Supplement Transparency

Pulling the curtain on quality.

Consumers need help navigating supplements.

Vetted. SuppCo secured $5.5M in seed funding for its supplement companion app, designed to help users choose effective brands, create personalized stacks, and track efficacy over time.

Available in beta, the app features:

  • Unbiased TrustScores measuring 29 key quality attributes for 500+ brands
  • 80+ tailored supplement stacks curated by functional medicine experts
  • Scheduling, reminders, and daily intake tracking

Consumer-driven. Three quarters of Americans take supplements—with many claiming positive results—but lax regulations have made the industry a wild west, leaving shoppers to rely on anecdotal evidence.

Building an evidence-based discovery platform, SuppCo aims to simplify preventative wellness and empower people to find effective prescription med alternatives.

Science-backed. With biotech arms built into their business, brands like Seed and Pendulum are filling gaps between clinical and consumer offerings, upping category-wide standards.

Another approach, Thorne offers DTC diagnostics and partners with Mayo Clinic for research, while Cristiano Ronaldo just backed Bioniq’s blood biomarker-derived daily formulas.

Looking ahead: From choosing trustworthy products to managing interactions, supplementation isn’t straightforward. Playing watchdog, SuppCo wants to build a collective—of consumers, researchers, and brands—committed to elevating the category’s future.
