Our Story

About CognitivEdge Reviews

CognitivEdge Reviews was founded on a simple premise: the supplement industry deserves better journalism. Too many “review” sites are thinly veiled advertisements, rating supplements they’ve never analyzed by ingredients they’ve never researched.

Our Editorial Standards

Every review on this site is scored by the same four-axis, ten-point rubric, computed from the product’s own published data — the build fails if a stored score drifts from what the rubric produces. The evidence rating beside each ingredient is our own reading of the published literature, printed per ingredient rather than folded into a single figure, so you can disagree with one row instead of with one number. Doses are recorded as the label states them: the dose axis scores whether an active carries a numeric dose at all, not whether that dose matches a clinical trial. Manufacturing and third-party testing statements come from the manufacturer — we do not audit factories and we do not commission assays.

What This Site Covers

CognitivEdge began as a nootropics site, and the cognitive categories are still the largest part of it. It is not limited to them. These are the 16 categories reviewed here today:

Nootropics & Focus · Memory & Brain Health · Mood, Stress & Anxiety · Sleep & Cognitive Recovery · Energy & Mental Stamina · Weight Loss & Metabolism · Men's Health · Dental & Oral Health · Joint & Bone Health · Vision & Eye Health · Blood Sugar Support · Nerve & Pain Health · Brain Entrainment & Audio · Hearing & Ear Health · Gut & Digestive Health · Nail & Foot Health

A dental probiotic and a nootropic are judged the same way on this site — the same four axes, the same ten points, the same declared affiliate interest. What changes between categories is the evidence base, not the standard. Where the published evidence behind a formula is thin, the score is low and the review says which axis cost it the points.

Our Affiliate Relationship

We are transparent about our business model. CognitivEdge earns affiliate commissions when readers buy on a vendor’s own site after following a link from here — most often through ClickBank. We sell nothing ourselves: recelis.com is this review site, not a shop, and there is no checkout on it. These commercial relationships do not influence our ratings, and the arithmetic is checkable: of the 10 highest-scored products on this site, 8 carry no buy link at all. Across the whole catalogue the 90 products that do carry one average 6.4 out of 10, and the 47 that do not average 6.9 — the ones we could earn from score no better. Every figure here is computed from the same data the reviews are built from, so it moves when the catalogue moves.

Our Rating System

Every score on this site is computed, not chosen. Four axes, ten points:

Dose transparency3How many actives carry their own numeric dose instead of hiding inside a proprietary blend.
Evidence behind the actives3The per-ingredient evidence rating printed in the table on every review — strong, moderate or emerging.
Cost per serving2Ranked against every other product we list in the same category.
Risk disclosure2Whether the side-effects section names specific risks, interactions and affected groups, or waves at them.

The star rating is derived from the score, never set separately. Every input is printed on the review page itself, so you can check any score by hand against the page it sits on — and each review shows its own four axis scores with the one-line reason for each. Audio programmes, apps and devices have no dose to disclose, so they are scored on the other three axes and rescaled to the same ten; the page says so when that has happened.

What the score does not measure is whether the product works. We do not run laboratory assays and we do not dose people. It measures how well a product is disclosed, evidenced, priced and risk-labelled — which is what our data can honestly support. The evidence ratings are our own reading of the literature for each ingredient, which is why they are printed per ingredient rather than buried in one overall figure: disagree with a row, not with a mystery.

Looking for a specific supplement? Every review prints the full label — each active, its dose, and our evidence rating for it.
