Clear Formulas

Jun 30, 2026 · 40 sources

Low-cost supplements sold on marketplaces with decent labels, strong prices, and limited verification.

Trust score 69 out of 100 · Mixed

What it does well

  • Strong budget value on sampled commodity supplements
  • Generally positive marketplace reviews and seller ratings
  • Simple labels and visible doses on many sampled products
  • Clean searchable regulatory record in the sources reviewed

Where it falls short

  • No public COA portal or batch-level test reports found
  • No verified NSF, USP, or athlete-safe certification found
  • Quality claims are not backed by named labs or facility certificates in accessible pages
  • High-dose iodine and methylene blue products require extra caution

On record: premium ingredients, clean record, fair value and transparent pricing.

Score by area

Quality 50 out of 100 · Poor

Quality evidence is thin. The brand repeatedly claims FDA-inspected or cGMP manufacturing on sampled product pages, but I did not find public COAs, named third-party laboratories, ISO 17025 lab documentation, NSF certification, or USP verification. Because the rubric does not penalize ordinary absence of public COAs, no quality penalty was applied, but confidence remains limited.

Not scored: No batch COAs, lab reports, facility names, NSF or USP certificate IDs, heavy metal limits, microbiology limits, or finished-product potency tests were found in accessible sources. I also did not find a direct brand quality page explaining release specifications.

Formulation 62 out of 100 · Mixed

Formulation is mixed but better than the quality documentation. Of 8 sampled products, 5 had plausible or strong doses for their category, but the berberine product is under the dosing commonly used in metabolic research and the iodine product is far above NIH's adult upper intake level. The line uses some better ingredient forms and absorption choices, but there is no evidence of clinical trials on Clear Formulas finished products.

Not scored: Full Supplement Facts panels were not consistently accessible for every SKU, especially multi-ingredient formulas. Clinical dose comparisons are based on a sample of 8 products, not a full-line audit.

How this score was built

Starts at 50, ends at 62.

  • +10 Effective doses in a majority of sampled products. Of 8 sampled products with usable dosage information, 5 appeared plausibly dosed against common clinical or category benchmarks: CoQ10 200 mg, quercetin 500 mg, SAM-e 400 mg, lycopene 50 mg, and nicotinamide 500 mg. This is 62.5 percent of the sample, so I used the low end of the rubric's +10 to +15 majority-line range: +10 points, full current weight. 68911121617192021 Current product listings and current or recent benchmark sources, full weight · full weight
  • +3 Limited bioavailability technology. Sampled CoQ10 products use lipid softgels and one CoQ10 listing adds BioPerine, a patented black pepper extract. This was found in 2 of 8 sampled products, an emerging rather than widespread pattern, so I awarded +3 points from the rubric's +8 to +12 bioavailability range. 910 Current product listings, full weight · full weight
  • +4 Premium or more specific ingredient forms appear in multiple sampled products. Examples include quercetin dihydrate, potassium iodide USP plus free iodine, biologically active S,S SAM-e, tomato-derived lycopene, and BioPerine in one CoQ10 product. Because these are not widespread branded ingredients across the full line, I awarded +4 points, below the rubric's +5 to +8 branded premium ingredient range. 67101112 Current product listings, full weight · full weight
  • −5 Underdosed product pattern, proportional penalty. Berberine is labeled as 500 mg with directions to take 1 capsule daily, while metabolic trials and summaries commonly use around 500 mg three times daily, or 1,500 mg/day. This was 1 of 8 sampled products, 12.5 percent of the sample. Rubric threshold is 50 percent plus of line for a full underdosing penalty. Calculation: 12.5 divided by 50 equals 25 percent of a -20 midpoint penalty, resulting in -5 points. 518 Current product listing and recent evidence source, full weight · full weight

Transparency 57 out of 100 · Poor

Transparency is adequate on business identity and product dose labeling, but weak on verification. Clear Formulas LLC can be traced through Florida and trademark records, yet the official and marketplace pages reviewed did not provide public COAs, named labs, batch tests, facility names, or sourcing depth. The main transparency deduction is for making quality-related claims that shoppers cannot independently check from the accessible materials.

Not scored: No direct customer-service COA request test was performed. No private lab reports, batch numbers, or contract-manufacturer documents were available from the accessible pages reviewed.

How this score was built

Starts at 50, ends at 57.

  • +9 Ownership and seller identity are publicly traceable. Florida records and business profile sources identify Clear Formulas LLC as an active Florida LLC filed November 10, 2020, and Walmart lists Clear Formulas LLC with a Miami business address and contact phone. This earns +9 points from the +8 to +12 ownership disclosure range, not the high end because the official site itself gives limited owner detail. 32728 Current or recently refreshed business records, full weight · full weight
  • +4 Clear labeling on sampled simple products. Sampled single-ingredient or simple products generally show dose, serving count, and primary ingredient on marketplace listings. This earns +4 points from the rubric's +3 to +5 clear-labeling range. 567891112 Current product listings, full weight · full weight
  • −6 Specific quality claims cannot be fully verified from accessible pages. Sampled listings repeatedly claim FDA-inspected facilities, cGMP facilities, lab-tested powder, or careful testing, but did not provide a named facility, certifying body, COA portal, lab name, batch report, or method details. This is a low-end -6 point penalty under claims that cannot be verified, below the -10 to -15 range because the claims are not direct NSF or USP seal claims. 157911293031 Current accessible pages and current certification directories, full weight · full weight

Safety 93 out of 100 · Excellent

Clear Formulas has a clean searchable regulatory record in the sources reviewed, with no FDA warning letter, recall, lawsuit, or contamination incident found. The main safety caveat is not a regulatory action, but product selection: high-dose iodine and methylene blue require more caution than ordinary vitamins. The clean-record adjustment is modest because the company appears relatively young.

Not scored: Searches cannot prove absence of private complaints, unreported adverse events, non-public FDA inspections, or contract-manufacturer issues. I did not locate FDA inspection records tied to the unidentified manufacturing facility because the facility name was not disclosed.

Starts at 90, ends at 93.

  • +3 Clean searchable regulatory record since company formation, limited by brand age. Clear Formulas LLC was filed in Florida in 2020, and searches of FDA warning-letter, supplement safety, recall, and bad-supplement resources did not surface a Clear Formulas warning letter, recall, or enforcement entry. The rubric's clean-record factor is +3 to +6 for longer histories. I awarded only +3 because the brand appears to be about 5 years old, not a 10 year plus operator. 273233343536 Current regulatory searches and current business record, full weight · full weight

Value 80 out of 100 · Strong

Value is Clear Formulas' strongest area. Sampled prices for CoQ10 and berberine are substantially below common marketplace comparators, and the brand also offers visible discounts and clear retail pricing. The value score is not maxed because the low prices are paired with limited public testing and certification evidence.

Not scored: Pricing changes frequently. Calculations used visible prices on Walmart, Amazon, and the official site as of the research pass, and may not reflect coupons, Prime-only pricing, out-of-stock sellers, or future promotions.

How this score was built

Starts at 50, ends at 80.

  • +24 Below-market pricing on sampled commodity products. Clear Formulas CoQ10 is listed at about $19.95 for 200 capsules, around $0.10 per serving, compared with NOW CoQ10 200 mg at $22.29 for 60 capsules, about $0.37 per serving, and Spring Valley 200 mg at $29.88 for 150, about $0.20 per serving. Clear Formulas berberine is $19.95 for 180 capsules, about $0.11 each, compared with Nutricost 600 mg at $18.95 for 60, about $0.32 each, and NOW berberine at $24.25 for 90, about $0.27 each. Across these two strong comparators, Clear Formulas is more than 20 percent cheaper, so I awarded +24 from the +20 to +30 range, not the maximum because quality verification is limited. 3523242526 Current marketplace pricing, full weight · full weight
  • +6 Transparent pricing and accessible discounts. The official site advertises 15 percent off for first-order email signup, Amazon listings show Subscribe and Save discounts, and Walmart listings show price, seller, returns, and shipping terms clearly. This earns +6 from the +6 to +10 transparent-pricing range. 135940 Current retail listings, full weight · full weight

Sentiment 73 out of 100 · Adequate

Social sentiment is positive but shallow. Marketplace ratings are generally strong and recent Walmart reviews mention shipping and value, but the brand does not show the type of independent Reddit, practitioner, athlete, or long-term community endorsement associated with top reputation brands. Review credibility is also limited by modest volume and low verified-review share on Judge.me.

Not scored: No robust Reddit thread set, Trustpilot profile, BBB profile, large independent review corpus, or practitioner survey was found. Sentiment is based mainly on Walmart, Judge.me, Amazon-adjacent, and review-aggregator evidence.

Starts at 60, ends at 73.

  • +8 Positive marketplace rating pattern with moderate volume. Walmart lists Clear Formulas LLC at 4.6 out of 5 from 86 seller ratings, Judge.me lists 4.44 out of 5 from 123 reviews, Walmart CoQ10 reviews show 4.8 out of 5 from 38 ratings, and FindThisBest reports an average ClearFormulas rating of 4.4. This earns +8 from the Amazon or marketplace positive-review range, not the high end because review volume is modest and Judge.me reports only 9 percent verified reviews. 342237 Mostly current reviews and current review aggregators, full weight · full weight
  • +5 Recent positive service and value comments. Walmart seller reviews include recent 2026 comments about timely delivery, quick shipping, repeat buying, and good price. This earns +5 from the customer-service positive range because the evidence is real but limited to a small number of displayed reviews. 322 Recent 2026 marketplace reviews, full weight · full weight

Best for

  • Budget shoppers buying commodity single-ingredient supplements like CoQ10, lycopene, quercetin, or nicotinamide and prioritizing low cost per serving 368911.
  • Shoppers who want simple labels and visible doses, but do not require public COAs or NSF, USP, or Informed Sport certification 567891112.
  • Marketplace buyers who value Walmart or Amazon convenience, visible seller ratings, and easy price comparison 32237.

Skip if

  • You require batch-specific COAs, named third-party labs, NSF Certified for Sport, USP Verified, or Informed Sport certification 1293031.
  • You are an athlete subject to banned-substance testing. I found no athlete-safe certification for Clear Formulas products 2931.
  • You are considering high-dose iodine or methylene blue without clinician guidance, especially if you have thyroid disease, take thyroid medication, or take serotonergic psychiatric medications 71415.

Common questions

Does Clear Formulas publish COAs?

I did not find a public COA portal, batch lookup, or published lab reports on the accessible official pages or sampled marketplace listings. Some listings mention lab-tested powder or careful testing, but they do not show batch COAs, lab names, methods, or contaminant limits 1257.

Is Clear Formulas third-party certified?

I did not verify NSF Certified for Sport, USP Verified, or Informed Sport certification for Clear Formulas in the sources reviewed. Product pages often claim FDA-inspected or cGMP facilities, but those claims are not the same as a public NSF or USP product certification 79293031.

Who owns Clear Formulas?

Clear Formulas LLC is listed as an active Florida LLC filed on November 10, 2020, and Walmart lists Clear Formulas LLC as the seller with a Miami business address. Trademark records also connect the CLEARFORMULAS mark to Clear Formulas LLC 32728.

Are Clear Formulas supplements well dosed?

The answer is mixed. Sampled products like CoQ10 200 mg, quercetin 500 mg, SAM-e 400 mg, and lycopene 50 mg look plausible, but the berberine product directs 500 mg once daily, below common metabolic-study dosing, and the iodine product provides a very high 12.5 mg dose that should not be treated as routine daily iodine for everyone 57911121518.

Is Clear Formulas worth the price?

For budget commodity supplements, often yes, if you accept limited transparency. Sampled CoQ10 and berberine prices were substantially below comparable NOW, Spring Valley, and Nutricost options, but the savings come without public COAs or major third-party certifications 3523242526.

Has Clear Formulas had recalls or lawsuits?

I did not find an FDA warning letter, recall, lawsuit, ConsumerLab recall item, or bad-supplement-list entry for Clear Formulas in the searched public sources. That does not prove a perfect record, but it supports a clean searchable regulatory profile as of July 1, 2026 3233343536.
