Terms & Disclaimer

Please review the following before using The Ingredient Files.

1. This is not medical advice

This site provides general information only and is not medical advice. Before starting or stopping any ingredient, always consult a healthcare professional such as a doctor or pharmacist. This is especially true if you have a medical condition, are taking medication, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

2. We only show the state of the evidence

This site does not advertise efficacy. It organizes, by grade, the state of the evidence from research and institutions, exactly as it stands. A grade is not a recommendation to buy any particular product, and it does not guarantee the prevention or treatment of any disease. Cases where the evidence is insufficient or refuted are shown as-is, not hidden.

3. Accuracy and timeliness disclaimer

Each ingredient assessment reflects the last-reviewed date shown on the page. Scientific evidence is continually updated, and later research may change an assessment. We strive for accuracy but do not warrant that the content is free of error; you are responsible for decisions made using this information and their outcomes.

4. Copyright and reuse

Reuse of the content is governed by the license. See what you may and may not do on the license page.

5. Contact

For correction requests, evidence tips, or commercial-use inquiries, please use the feedback channel on each ingredient page or a separate contact. Tips we receive are reflected only after we verify the actual source directly.
