What counts as proof

A listing, a study, and an approval are different records

Marketing often stacks them together. Pull them apart and ask what each record actually establishes.

Follow a source trail

Four records that are often confused

ReviewFDA approvalFind the exact drug, form, and approved label in an FDA record.
PreparationCompoundingA compounded medicine does not gain FDA approval because a licensed pharmacy prepared it.
CodeNDC numberAn NDC (National Drug Code) is a product code number in a government drug list, and having one does not prove FDA approval.
ClaimResearch languageA research-use label does not turn a product marketed for human use into a legal treatment.

Check only what the record actually covers

Use one claim at a time.

Ask what the record says.

Ask what it does not say.

A study can answer the question it tested without answering every question about every product sold under a similar name.

An approval record belongs to the exact medicine and form in that record.

A pharmacy license belongs to the named pharmacy; it is not approval of each preparation.

A compact evidence check

  1. Exact product

    Does the source name the same ingredient and form?

  2. Exact question

    Does it discuss approval, quality, a study result, or only a listing?

  3. Exact date

    Is the rule or price current enough for the decision?

  4. Exact publisher

    Is it a government office such as FDA or a Nevada board, a medical journal, a professional group that sets care standards, or the seller repeating a claim?
