After blasting a handful of companies on their social media for their testing data, Oasis App just admitted they used the wrong data in their claims. This isn't the first time this has happened.

I've also had issues validating multiple filtration products on their app previously when I reached out directly to validate.

I love the idea of what they are building, but people are making health decisions based on their guidance. Super irresponsible and frustrating.

Function has acquired SuppCo, the trust layer for the supplement industry.

More than 50% of Americans take dietary supplements, yet the category has long lacked an standard for trust, efficacy, and safety - SuppCo was built to fix that.

How it works: SuppCo's app has ratings across 35,000+ products and has analyzed 500,000+ supplement routines using its TrustScore® system, which evaluates products across 29 attributes.

Earlier this year, SuppCo launched TESTED by SuppCo - an independent certification program that anonymously purchases off-the-shelf supplements and verifies their active ingredients through an ISO 17025-accredited lab.

Prior testing rounds found that roughly 50% of top-selling supplements failed to meet basic label accuracy standards.

Critically, SuppCo does not profit from supplement sales, so its recommendations are driven entirely by science rather than margins.

Combined with Function's continuous lab testing and clinician-guided protocols, members will receive supplement guidance grounded in their actual biology - not population averages, influencer endorsements, or brand marketing.

Why Function made this move: Every supplement is an input into human biology. These inputs can move biomarkers, influence physiology, and shape long-term health outcomes - yet most are purchased over the counter with little personalization or independent verification.

As SuppCo CEO Steve Martocci put it: "Joining Function pairs that independence with the one thing that's always been missing: a more comprehensive view of your biological data to understand how supplements are actually working for you. That's how we close the loop on efficacy and help people take control of their health."

And from Jonathan Swerdlin, Function's CEO: "You are what you put in your body. Food, prescriptions, and supplements are inputs that shape your biology."
