About SuppLens
SuppLens scans supplement labels. The user photographs the ingredient list, an AI reads it and translates the ingredients into a simple verdict of safe or toxic, flagging questionable additives, artificial dyes, preservatives and possible heavy metal risks. It also checks bioavailability, such as whether a magnesium product uses a well-absorbed form like glycinate or a cheaper oxide, and suggests a cleaner alternative when a product rates poorly. The verdicts are the app's own assessment and are explained in plain language.
Dietary filters cover keto, vegan, gluten-free and soy-free needs, and the app is aimed at biohackers, parents checking gummies, and athletes checking protein. Recent updates added comparing as many as five scanned products within a single chat, suggested questions about ingredients and amounts, saving products for later and taking more photos while scans run. The basic scanner is free and Pro adds unlimited scans and deeper ingredient insights. The listing shows seven languages.
