FormulaTested Trial Ledger

Supplement trial accounts and research reviews, clearly separated.

The trial ledger below collects published firsthand accounts, with durations and important limitations disclosed. Separate research-only reviews are linked further down. Original trial records are not independently inspectable, and personal observations are not clinical proof.

Scoring
Same six-category framework across reviews

Completed trials

Scores below belong to the formula version described in each published trial account. Where a product has since been reformulated, the review says so and does not transfer the old hands-on result to the new formula.

Documentation and verification: These entries summarize the site’s published first-person review accounts. Original dated trial logs, purchase receipts, and underlying measurements are not currently available for independent inspection. Trial durations, observations, and scores have therefore not been independently verified. They should not be interpreted as clinical findings or proof that the products caused the reported changes. For the source account and its limitations, follow each linked review.

Product Category Trial Score What stood out Status note
NooCube Nootropic 30 days 9.1/10 Longer sustained work sessions; mild headache recorded once. Completed firsthand test.
PhenQ Weight management 60 days 8.6/10 Less snacking and smaller afternoon energy crashes during a calorie deficit. Score applies to the formula/dosing personally tested; current formula differs.
CrazyBulk D-Bal Sports nutrition 8 weeks 7.8/10 Recovery felt better, but training, calorie surplus and creatine were major confounders. Completed firsthand test.
Performer 8 Men’s health 30 days 8.6/10 Modestly higher libido and slightly better morning energy. Score belongs to the earlier formula tested; current 2026 formula is different.

How to read this ledger

Research-only formula assessments are published separately: Testogen and TestoPrime Gold. Neither should be mistaken for a documented personal outcome trial.

Personally tested

I used the product and the review reports observations from that trial.

Researched comparison

A comparison may include a product I have not personally used. That status is disclosed on the page.

Formula update

If the manufacturer changes the formula, the old hands-on score stays attached to the version actually tested.

Not clinical proof

These are structured N=1 trials, not randomized clinical studies.
