SupplementWatch

SupplementWatch was an online resource and consultancy focused on providing evidence-based reviews and ratings for dietary supplements. Founded by Dr. Shawn Talbott in 1999, the company aimed to educate consumers and industry professionals on the efficacy and safety of various nutritional products. It offered a SupplementWatch Approved seal for products meeting specific quality and research standards, serving as an early third-party validator in the nutraceutical space. The company also provided consulting services to supplement manufacturers regarding product formulation and clinical substantiation. In 2003, the company was acquired by Window Rock Enterprises, though it continued to operate as a specialized information portal for several years. It is recognized for its early efforts to bring scientific rigor to the unregulated supplement market.
