How We
Score
A score is only useful if you can see what it rewards, what it cannot know, and where CleanLabel° refuses to guess.
01 - The four-pillar read
Clean label leads. Dose still has to work.
Every HYROX product pick gets a 100-point CleanLabel° read. The score rewards labels that disclose what matters, doses that fit the job, formats that make sense during HYROX, and value based on an effective serving rather than filler weight.
Protein products also use the CleanLabel° protein lens: amino-spiking risk, protein claim credibility, sweetener and additive burden, and third-party evidence where it exists.
02 - Sources
Label first. Evidence second. Marketing last.
| Tier | What counts | How we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Strongest | Sport-certification registries, independent tests, exact supplement facts. | Can support a pick when the SKU matches. |
| Useful | Brand product pages, retailer labels, pack size, and price snapshots. | Used only when they show the actual formula and serving. |
| Context | Brand positioning, athlete sponsorships, category reputation. | Never enough by itself for a score. |
03 - Certification and trust
Tested-clean is useful, but the exact SKU matters.
The clean-label pillar recognises sport-certification and testing signals such as Informed Sport, Informed Choice, NSF Certified for Sport, Trustified, brand-published COAs, and WADA-free positioning. They are not interchangeable. A brand-level claim does not automatically transfer to every flavour, pack size, or India SKU.
Trustified is included because it is a relevant India blind-testing signal for label accuracy, amino-spiking, and contaminants. It is useful evidence, but it still has to match the product being scored.
04 - What the score cannot know
No label can prove everything.
A label cannot fully prove contamination risk, storage history, batch drift, or whether a product agrees with your gut. It also cannot prove that a clean ingredient list is right for your timing. A real-food bar can be clean and still be a poor race-morning move.
The HYROX score is a buying and rehearsal filter. It is not a medical recommendation, not a guarantee of batch purity, and not a promise that more supplement means more performance.
05 - Freshness
Prices and labels move.
The initial HYROX catalog uses product data captured in June 2026 and updated for this release on 3 July 2026. Prices are snapshots. Import availability can change quickly. Before purchase, check the current product page, pack size, and label.
