THE BASICS

The quickest answers to what MyVitaminScore is, who it is for, and what makes it different.

What is MyVitaminScore?
MyVitaminScore is an online vitamin and mineral assessment that organizes symptom-based nutrient signals into a personalized nutrient picture. Instead of guessing which supplements to take, you receive an overall Vitamin Score and ranked nutrient priorities showing where your current nutrition may deserve more attention and where it appears better supported.
Who is MyVitaminScore for?
MyVitaminScore is for people who want a clearer, more personalized understanding of their nutrition. It is especially useful if you feel overwhelmed by supplement advice, unsure what you actually need, or tired of making nutrition decisions based on trends and guesswork.
Is MyVitaminScore personalized?
Yes. Your results are based on your own answers, symptom patterns, and assessed nutrient signals. MyVitaminScore does not assume that everyone needs the same nutrients in the same amounts or that one recommendation should apply to everyone.
Is MyVitaminScore a supplement store?
No. MyVitaminScore is not a supplement store. Its purpose is to help you understand possible nutrient priorities before making food or supplement decisions, so you are not relying entirely on trends, advertising, or random recommendations.
Who created MyVitaminScore?
MyVitaminScore was created by Cameron Cogswell, a nutrition educator and author focused on cellular nutrition and the role vitamins and minerals play in human function. The platform was created to make personalized nutrient insight easier to understand and easier to access.
HOW IT WORKS

From symptoms to a clearer pattern.

These questions explain what the assessment looks at and why the broader pattern matters.

How does MyVitaminScore work?
MyVitaminScore asks a series of questions about functional signs, patterns, and symptoms that may relate to nutrient demand. Your answers are organized across 25+ nutrient areas, including vitamins, minerals, omega-3, probiotics, and other key nutrients. The result is an overall Vitamin Score and a ranked nutrient profile designed to show what deserves attention first.
What is a Vitamin Score?
Your Vitamin Score is a simple summary of your assessed nutrient picture. Think of it like a credit score for your nutrients: one number gives you the big picture, while the report shows what is shaping that score and which nutrient areas are creating the most pressure.
What does MyVitaminScore assess?
MyVitaminScore assesses 25+ nutrient areas, including essential vitamins, minerals, omega-3, probiotics, and other key nutritional signals. The goal is to look at the broader nutrient landscape instead of focusing only on a few popular nutrients.
Can MyVitaminScore tell me what vitamins I need?
MyVitaminScore can help you identify which nutrient areas may be more relevant to explore based on your current pattern of responses. It does not diagnose deficiencies. It gives you a clearer priority map so you can understand which areas may deserve closer attention before making nutrition decisions.
What makes MyVitaminScore different from other nutrition quizzes?
MyVitaminScore does not reduce the body to simple rules such as “this symptom means this vitamin.” The same symptom can have many possible causes. Instead, the assessment looks across broader patterns because nutrients work together and your results make more sense when they are interpreted in context.
Why do nutrient needs differ from person to person?
Nutrient demand can be influenced by diet, lifestyle, stress, digestion, sleep, medication use, activity level, environment, life stage, and other biological differences. Two people can follow similar diets and still have different nutritional priorities.
Why is guessing with supplements a problem?
Random supplementation can create cost and complexity without giving you a clear understanding of what actually deserves priority. MyVitaminScore helps organize your nutrient picture first so food and supplement decisions can be made with more context.
How long does the assessment take?
Most people complete the assessment in under 10 minutes. It can be completed from home on a phone, tablet, or computer.
RESULTS & ACCESS

What do I get when I unlock the full report?
The full report reveals your complete 25+ nutrient pattern, including lower-scoring and stronger nutrient areas, personalized interpretation, food-focus guidance, supplement guidance where relevant, and a clearer order of operations for what to focus on next.
Does MyVitaminScore recommend supplements?
The full report may provide supplement guidance where relevant, including forms and dose guidance. Food remains the foundation. The purpose is not to push more supplements; it is to help you understand where targeted support may make sense within your broader nutrient pattern.
Is MyVitaminScore free?

SAFETY, TESTING & PRIVACY

Clear boundaries make the tool more useful.

MyVitaminScore is designed to add organized nutrition insight, not replace appropriate medical care.

Does MyVitaminScore diagnose nutrient deficiencies?
No. MyVitaminScore does not diagnose nutrient deficiencies, diseases, or medical conditions. It is an educational tool that organizes possible nutrient-related signals into a clearer pattern. Diagnosis and clinical treatment belong with qualified healthcare professionals.
Is MyVitaminScore the same as a blood test?
No. MyVitaminScore is not a blood test and does not replace laboratory testing. Bloodwork can be extremely valuable, but routine testing often covers only a limited number of micronutrients. MyVitaminScore uses a different lens: symptom-based and functional nutrient signals organized across a broader nutrient framework.
Can I identify nutrient needs without blood tests?
Symptoms alone cannot confirm every nutrient deficiency. They can, however, provide useful clues about where nutrition may deserve closer attention. MyVitaminScore organizes those clues so you can build a more informed starting point and decide when clinical testing or professional guidance may also be appropriate.
Is MyVitaminScore medical advice?
No. MyVitaminScore is not medical advice and does not replace care from a qualified healthcare professional. It is an educational tool designed to help you understand possible nutrient patterns and make more informed nutrition decisions.
Is my information private?
Your privacy matters. MyVitaminScore is designed to collect the information needed to generate your results and support the assessment experience. Please review the site's privacy policy for the full details on how information is handled.
