## Editorial verdict
- Editorial score: 4.0 / 5 (Northbench's own scoring, distinct from
  the brand's self-published 4.98/5 customer rating).
- AlkaMelt names its four active ingredients plainly on the label:
  Apple Cider Vinegar, Green Tea Extract, Berberine, Cayenne Pepper.
- KEY FINDING: the official AlkaMelt site (alkamelt.net, also mirrored
  at alkamelt.us and thealkamelt.com) publishes a "Scientific
  References" list of 20+ studies. Cross-checking each citation
  against the confirmed 4-ingredient formula shows citations for
  Apple Cider Vinegar, green tea catechins, berberine, and capsaicin
  (cayenne) genuinely correspond to ingredients in the product - but
  the list ALSO includes citations for glucomannan, chromium
  picolinate, L-carnitine, green coffee extract/chlorogenic acid, and
  caffeine, NONE of which appear in AlkaMelt's actual confirmed
  formula. This review flags that reference-list padding as a genuine,
  checkable transparency issue and cites only the references that
  actually correspond to the confirmed formula throughout.
- No per-serving milligram dose is disclosed for any of the four
  named ingredients in the materials reviewed.
- Berberine is pharmacologically active and can interact with certain
  medications (particularly blood sugar and blood pressure
  medication) - flagged as a specific safety note, not treated as a
  generic botanical.
- The official site displays a countdown-timer urgency element
  ("OFFER ENDS IN") that does not appear tied to a genuine fixed
  deadline - noted as a marketing tactic, not treated as fraud.
- Pricing confirmed: $79/bottle (2 bottles, $158 total), $69/bottle
  (3 bottles, $207 total), $49/bottle (6 bottles, $294 total, best
  value). Sold only through the official website; no authorized
  retail or marketplace listing exists.
- Guarantee: 60-day money-back guarantee from purchase date, per the
  manufacturer's published terms.
- Not intended for anyone under 18, pregnant, nursing, or with a
  current or past eating disorder.
