Label checks

What each label discloses, and what it leaves out. Read from the reviews, not from the marketing.

Pendulum Akkermansia

  • Every active ingredient has a stated amount
  • Carries a third-party certification
  • Chicory inulin: a serving gives 276 mg, below the 5–20 g a day trial range

Pendulum GLP-1 Probiotic

  • 2 of 4 listed ingredients have no stated amount
  • Carries a third-party certification
  • Chicory inulin: a serving gives 174 mg, below the 5–20 g a day trial range

How this comparison is built

  • Scores are the ones already published in each review. Nothing is re-scored for the comparison, and a product leads a criterion only when it outscores the rest.
  • Doses are read from the label rows in each review and placed against the studied range on the matching ingredient page. A figure that is not printed is never estimated.
  • Costs use a dated retailer price divided by labelled servings. Prices in different currencies are never ranked against each other.
  • Only products in the same category, or ones a review names as an alternative, can be compared. Commission never changes what appears here.
