I believe a website of this nature is long overdue, so I applaud you for its creation. One thing I suggest is the addition of a brand criteria search. It would also be nice if the published review included all formatting (i.e. multiple paragraphs) instead of condensing everything into one large paragraph.

Thanks for your feedback!
What do you mean by \"brand criteria search\"? Do you mean a criteria search (as it is now) with an additional \"brand\" filter?
Your other suggestion, I'm working on now. Fortunately the formatting has been preserved in the database, I just have to fix the output.

I actually believe that a system similar to that of popular supplement websites (Nutraplanet, Bodybuilding.com, etc) would be the best and most logical system. With enough reviews, the current search system could become inconvenient, to say the least.
A brand/product type of primary filter followed by the current criteria search as a secondary/optional filter would work well. Using a system such as this would allow for a user to search through reviews of energy supplements, for example, and choose the product with the highest average score for mental energy or aggression.

The main value in this site is the data and the database structure. When there are enough reviews, I'll tailor the search interface so that it's convenient to use according to the size of the data.
Your suggestions are noted.
I'm wondering whether to expand the forum to include discussions of supplements, but I thought that would be best left to the individual review pages themselves (although people may want to post questions, etc., without reviewing or rating the product).
But I thought there are enough supplement websites out there that are nothing but forums. So I don't feel the need to go head-to-head with them in that area.

The problem with most of the forums is that information about product X or Y gets lost amidst the many other threads. Sure, you can search, but searching for data results in a conglomeration of threads which may or may not be closely related to said product. Implementation of a comment section or simple discussion area on a per product basis is something that might work more effectively than trying to compete with some huge forums.
