Research classifications

What each heading in the catalog denotes, and what the research-use-only designation means for material grouped under it.

Research use only. These pages are a research information source. They explain what classification terms mean. They make no claims about any material, describe no use, and are not medical, legal or regulatory advice.

Material types

What the term denotes, what the research-use-only designation means for material grouped under it, and what documentation should accompany a lot.

Oral Supplements

A format heading describing how material is presented — and why that is not the same as the regulated dietary supplement category.

Vitamins & Enzymes

Two distinct chemical groupings under one catalog heading, and what the research-use-only designation means for material filed there.

A presentation descriptor — how material is packaged and delivered — carrying no implication about what it is for.

Topical Cosmetic

A format and regulatory-category term — and the point at which wording moves something out of that category entirely.

Consumables and ancillary items — the category most often left out of records, and the one that causes traceability gaps.

Categories

What the term denotes, what the research-use-only designation means for material grouped under it, and what documentation should accompany a lot.

Oral Supplements

A format heading describing how material is presented — and why that is not the same as the regulated dietary supplement category.

Vitamins & Enzymes

Two distinct chemical groupings under one catalog heading, and what the research-use-only designation means for material filed there.

A dosage form descriptor: compressed solid presentation, and nothing more than that.

Material in solution intended for oral presentation — and why liquids need a record that dry material does not.

A large family of plant-derived compounds sharing a structural backbone — a structural grouping, not a functional one.

A heading suppliers use to organise a list. It is not an indication, and this page is explicit about that because the name reads like one.

An organisational heading, not a statement of purpose — and worth saying plainly, because the name suggests otherwise.
