The Real Cost of Purity: A Resveratrol TLC Face-Off
Is lower supplement pricing always a better deal? See how we used TLC testing to unmask the true cost and purity differences in Resveratrol products.
Welcome to NutriTLCy!
My name is Paul Francis, I’m a research scientist with a career spanning academic universities, research institutes, and industries across Asia, the UK, and Ireland.
Like many of you, my personal health journey has been a winding road. A few years ago, a severe period of burnout and sleep deprivation pushed my nervous system to its limits, impacting both my physical and mental well-being. My path to recovery sparked a deep fascination with physiology and the supportive role high-quality supplements can play. But navigating the endless, conflicting health claims online quickly made me realize how overwhelming and filled with anxiety the supplement space can be.
As a scientist, I wanted clarity. Traditional laboratory purity testing (like HPLC) is locked behind a commercial paywall, costing hundreds of euros per sample and returning complex graphs that aren't user-friendly. I knew there had to be a better way for the everyday consumer to see what they are actually putting into their bodies.
That is why I founded NutriTLCy (pronounced "Nutritial-see").
Our mission is to cut through the noise and provide accessible, budget-friendly, semi-quantitative supplement analysis using Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC). Instead of intimidating data tables, we offer simple visual breakdowns and clear explanations so you can verify the ingredients of the supplements you buy. Through our services and subscription plans, we compare popular suppliers to give you—and me—the peace of mind we deserve.
