FDA Supplement Adverse Event Reports, Made Legible
Search real reports submitted to the FDA about dietary supplements — by brand, product, and outcome. Data from the FDA's CAERS database.
What this data is — and isn't
All data comes from the FDA's CFSAN Adverse Event Reporting System (CAERS) — voluntary reports submitted by consumers, healthcare providers, and manufacturers. A report does not mean the product caused the effect. Report counts reflect reporting activity, not real-world incidence or causation. Many factors — media coverage, recalls, litigation — influence how many reports a product accumulates.
