What do these mean? ▾

Beneficial. Linked to benefits in published research. Tiers show evidence strength.

Restricted or banned. Restricted or banned by a regulator in at least one country.

Under research review. Being studied or re-evaluated by researchers or regulators.

Contextual. Not flagged, but there is a note worth reading.

Standard. Everyday components like vitamins and minerals.

Not yet classified. Not in our dictionary yet. Always still listed.

Counts include what's inside compound entries like vitamin premixes, so they can add up to more than the label's ingredient count.
