What it actually is

Names are a mess. One substance can carry a chemical name, a brand name, an abbreviation and half a dozen nicknames. Type any of them and you land on the same record, with a source for why that name was accepted.

Whether anyone official lists it

Every record says which of seven public registers list the substance — among them the US Food and Drug Administration, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the European Medicines Agency — and whether it is controlled. Listed nowhere is an answer too.

What the research found

For 100 substances so far, the published research has been read and summarised in plain words. Where the studies stated an amount, the record also shows how that amount compares with what is actually declared on the products for sale. The other 15,999 are listed as a record of the register entry and nothing more.

When a record changes

Every grade here is provisional and carries a methodology version. Records get regraded when the evidence moves, and the reviewer who will sign them has not been appointed yet. If you want to be told when either happens, leave an address.
