Dataset v1

Open compound data

A free download of the compound catalogue that journalists and AI tools can cite. 453 rows, one per compound. Every field is counted by the same rules as Methodology. Nothing here grades whether a compound works. It is not a way to download a list of sellers.

1,043 studies in people and 1,587 checked sources sit behind these rows. 72 compounds have no study of that compound in people. Those rows have null_flag true.

Field dictionary

Version 1 is stable. A later version will change the web address or the version field. It will not quietly rename a field.

slug
The stable URL key. The profile lives at /compounds/{slug} and that page is the cite target.
name
The compound name as it appears on the profile.
class
The catalogue category (Metabolic, Longevity, Healing and Recovery, and the rest).
kind
What kind of thing it is when that is known: Peptide, Small molecule, Supplement, Hormone, Biologic, Blend or Procedure. Null when no kind has been attached.
evidence_band
One word computed from completed trials and counted people, by the published rule on /methodology. Not a verdict on whether the compound works. The arithmetic that produced it is on the profile.
human_study_count
Human-typed citations about this compound, excluding studies labelled as being about a different molecule and excluding retracted records, counted once per PubMed ID or NCT number (or per URL when neither is present). Same definition as the site-wide Human studies count, applied to one profile.
people_n
How many people the completed administered trials on the page state were given the compound. Null when there is no such trial. Zero when those trials exist but none of the lines state a headcount. This undercounts by design.
null_flag
True when the profile has no countable human citation of this compound. That is the same rule as the site-wide Null profiles count.
pmids
PubMed IDs parsed from citation URLs on the profile. Sorted, unique. Includes identifiers that sit on retracted or about-another lines, because those records are still on the page.
ncts
ClinicalTrials.gov NCT numbers parsed from citation URLs on the profile. Sorted, unique.
last_reviewed
Year of the newest cited study on the profile. Null when no citation carries a year. This is a fact about the evidence, not a claim that a person reviewed the page that year.
url
The compound profile on this site. Quote the study, not the summary, for any clinical figure.

Public API

Two GET routes that return the same JSON as the download. Open to any website (CORS open), and no key needed. An unknown compound name returns a 404 with an error object. Use these URLs. Do not scrape the web pages for the same numbers.
