What this is
A knowledge base of natural-product chemistry: what molecules are, which organisms they occur in, what
laboratory assays report about them, and which products contain them. Every record names its source.

Limits
What these records do not say
-
An assay result is not a product effect
Protein interactions are measurements of a compound at its own dose in a laboratory system. They do not describe what happens when someone eats a food or product containing it.
-
An occurrence is not a concentration
A molecule reported in an organism was detected there in the cited work. It does not follow that the organism is a meaningful dietary source, nor that the amount is comparable to any product.
-
A reported condition is not a therapeutic claim
A metabolomics association means a compound was detected or studied in a condition. An occupational entry describes an exposure hazard, usually at industrial concentrations. Neither indicates that a compound treats or causes anything.
-
Nothing here is medical advice
These are literature and database records, assembled for reference. They have not been evaluated by any regulator.
