Superpower packages a wellness score.We unpack the biology.

Superpower charges $199/year with auto-renewal and their 24/7 care team model. Vitals Vault is one-time: $99 (Essential, 120+ biomarkers), $199 (Advanced, 140+), or $399 (Max, 160+). Those counts include lab-measured markers plus clinical ratios — like the triglyceride/HDL ratio that reveals insulin resistance when both numbers look borderline individually, or NLR that ER physicians use to gauge systemic inflammation. These are the values a $500/hr functional medicine consult would calculate by hand. For the same $199 Superpower charges annually, you get Vitals Vault’s Advanced plan with deeper clinical analysis, and you’re never charged again. Both accept HSA/FSA.

Superpower gives you a dashboard with a “Superpower Score” and supplement recommendations. Vitals Vault gives you a 90-page Functional Health Report that evaluates every marker against two sets of ranges: the standard lab range (are you sick?) and a functional optimal range (are you actually healthy?). Here’s why that matters: Superpower told you your TSH of 4.0 was fine. A functional medicine practitioner knows anything above 3.0 correlates with early thyroid underperformance. Your fasting glucose of 94 passed their screen. Our TyG Index flags the insulin resistance behind it a decade before your A1c moves. The report scores 12 body systems, computes 34–50 clinical ratios, and gives you an Action Plan with specific supplement recommendations, dosages, safety notes relative to your medications, and PubMed-cited evidence — not generic supplement suggestions. Plus a 12-month personalized testing roadmap with 5 clinical checkpoints prioritized by clinical urgency based on YOUR patterns.

Superpower gives every member the same 100+ biomarker panel and the same “Superpower Score” — whether you’re a 25-year-old athlete optimizing performance or a 50-year-old woman on thyroid medication with a family history of heart disease. Vitals Vault’s Custom Panel Builder is an AI clinical consultation that interviews you about your specific symptoms, medications, family history, and lifestyle. It builds differential hypotheses in real-time (“is this an adrenal pattern, a thyroid cascade, or medication-induced nutrient depletion?”), runs deterministic rules for medication depletions (statins → CoQ10, birth control → zinc/B6/folate, metformin → B12), adds family-history risk panels, and assembles a panel that tests YOUR specific clinical questions. You see the reasoning behind every test, the confidence level for each hypothesis, and which biomarkers investigate which finding. It’s the $10,000 concierge medicine experience — free, before you even pay for your panel. No other service offers anything like it.

Superpower offers a 24/7 care team for lifestyle coaching questions. Vitals Vault takes a different approach: every report receives clinician sign-off from physicians like Dr. Arti Chandra (MD, MPH, IFMCP — 15 years functional medicine at Providence/Swedish) and Dr. Rob Lufkin (Clinical Professor, USC Keck, 200+ peer-reviewed papers). Your report is powered by a clinical intelligence engine built on a 3-million-node knowledge graph (HPO, SNOMED, UMLS, and functional medicine ontologies) that detects compound risk patterns — elevated LDL + elevated hs-CRP + family history triggers a “Cardiac Triple Threat” pattern, high glucose + high triglycerides + low HDL triggers “Metabolic Syndrome Pattern.” The engine evaluates your results against your 15-section health profile, uses UMLS/RxNorm for medication interaction awareness, and detects worsening trends across past labs. You also get an AI health assistant (Neo) that understands your full clinical context.

Yes. Superpower has an integrated supplement marketplace and makes product recommendations as part of its platform — their business model includes supplement revenue. Vitals Vault does not sell supplements. Our Action Plan recommends specific supplements with dosages, safety notes relative to your current medications (using UMLS/RxNorm drug interaction awareness), and PubMed-cited evidence — but we have zero financial incentive tied to which supplements you buy or where you buy them. When your clinical engine has no supplement revenue to optimize for, the recommendations optimize for your health.

Yes — and this is where the clinical intelligence really shows. Vitals Vault’s engine parses every value from your uploaded results and integrates them into your analysis. If your ferritin has dropped from 45 to 28 to 18 across three tests, the engine detects that worsening trend (the highest-priority signal in the system), escalates it in your report, adjusts your supplement recommendations, and moves iron-related retesting earlier in your 12-month testing roadmap. If your vitamin D has been climbing since you started supplementing, it flags that as improving and de-prioritizes it. Superpower lets you upload past labs but doesn’t integrate them into its analysis or recommendations.
