Understanding the IM8 benchmark
Distinguish brand, market and product version, ingredient label, study population and the finished product. Learning from a daily routine does not transfer its claims or study results to FD1.

What is useful to benchmark?Project inference
IM8 organizes ingredient categories into a daily routine. FD1 can benchmark habit design and evidence transparency while defining its own audience and research.
What does the current page say?Brand claim
The page states 90 ingredients, 12 g per serving, probiotics and other actives. These are brand specifications; every label dose and batch report was not audited.
How to read “95% felt more energy”Brand claim
The site reports a proportion of participants reporting a feeling. Without full denominators, control differences and statistics, it is not a 95% effect improvement.
What the registry actually showsTrial registry
NCT06655597 plans 60 participants, 12 weeks, usual-diet control and investigator-only masking; morphology is primary, subjective energy secondary. The API returned hasResults=false.
The record was last updated on 2024-10-23 and retains estimated dates; brand pages alone do not verify completion or equivalence to current Pro.
Quality certification and efficacy differBrand claim
The brand claims NSF Certified for Sport and third-party testing. Identity and contaminant testing do not establish energy, sleep or anti-aging benefits.
Current NSF directory status and all batch records were not independently audited here; this remains a brand claim.
Twelve hallmarks ≠ twelve proven benefitsProject inference
Longevity messaging invokes aging mechanisms. Ingredient logic for a mechanism does not establish that the blend changes all mechanisms or extends human life.
