This directory documents ingredients. It does not give medical advice, and it does not tell you whether anything here is permitted in your product, in your market, at your dose.

Nothing here is medical advice
The audience for this catalogue is formulators, procurement teams and regulatory staff evaluating ingredients for products they are developing. It is written for that use and no other.
Highlights and benefit statements on a listing are reproduced from what the manufacturer says about their own product. Publishing them is reporting a claim, not endorsing or verifying it. Every one carries this note, on the page, next to the claim:
*Statements as supplied by the manufacturer. Not evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
That note is not removable by a supplier, on any plan. It appears on this page in exactly the words it appears in on a listing, so there is one statement rather than two that could drift apart.
Regulatory statuses shown on a listing — a novel-food position, a GRAS notification, a monograph entry, an approval in a named market — record what the catalogue has been able to document. They are a starting point for your own regulatory work, and they are not a clearance to use the ingredient.
Specifically, the presence of a status here does not tell you:
Confirm the current position with the relevant authority and with your own regulatory advisers before you formulate, label or sell. That work is yours, and nothing on this site does any part of it for you.
Where a listing carries studies or patents, they are references to work that exists. A study attached to an ingredient is not proof of an effect: sample size, design, funding, the form and dose tested, and whether the finding has ever been replicated all matter, and a reference count says nothing about any of them.
A patent is a grant of exclusivity over a claimed invention. It is not evidence that the invention works.
Read the underlying papers. The listings link to them precisely so that you can.
Specifications, assays, test methods and dosage ranges come from manufacturers and public sources. They change without notice, and they can be wrong at source. A field the catalogue could not verify is left blank and shown as a dash rather than filled with an estimate — but a value that is present is a value reported to us, not a value we measured.
Two figures that look alike often are not. Two suppliers can both state “min. 95 %” and mean different markers measured by different methods. Where the catalogue can see such a difference, the compare page names it rather than lining the numbers up silently — and where a method is not stated at all, it says that instead of assuming agreement.
Before you buy or formulate, get current documentation from the supplier and validate the material against your own specification.
The catalogue does not hold complete allergen declarations, contraindications or drug-interaction data, and the absence of a warning here is not the absence of a risk. Obtain the full technical and safety documentation from the supplier and carry out your own safety assessment.
Every published listing and company page carries a “report an inaccuracy” link, which puts it in front of a reviewer. Use it — corrections are free, do not require an account with the supplier, and are the mechanism by which this catalogue stays worth reading. Anything more serious can go to [CONTACT EMAIL].
