Our Data Sources
Every dataset behind a Avelor verdict, with the upstream organization, refresh cadence, and current ingestion status. See methodology for how these sources combine into a score; see about our data for the longer-form explanation.
How sources become consumer-visible answers
$Avelor runs an AI-assisted clinical review engine over every primary source listed below. Auto-extracted candidate interactions are graded against published mechanism + evidence weight + severity tiers before they enter the consumer corpus. We never publish raw model output as fact.
openFDA Adverse Events
U.S. Food and Drug AdministrationFDA Adverse Event Reporting System (CAERS) supplement-tagged events, used for safety-signal flagging on every scan.
FDA Recalls (Class I, II, III)
U.S. Food and Drug AdministrationActive and historical FDA enforcement actions filtered to dietary supplements.
FDA Tainted Products
U.S. Food and Drug AdministrationFDA list of supplements found to contain undisclosed pharmaceutical ingredients (e.g. weight-loss with sibutramine, sex-enhancement with sildenafil).
NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) Fact Sheets
National Institutes of HealthPer-ingredient evidence summaries with consumer + health-professional variants. Backbone of the dense-search corpus for general supplement questions.
NCCIH Clinical Digests
National Center for Complementary and Integrative HealthPractitioner-grade summaries for complementary and integrative supplements, used for evidence-grade questions.
PubMed E-utilities
National Library of MedicineCitation lookup for every published claim. Avelor only cites PMIDs the system can verify against the live PubMed API.
USDA FoodData Central
U.S. Department of AgricultureNutrient composition reference for whole-food alternatives surfaced alongside supplement recommendations.
NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD)
National Institutes of HealthSource of truth for the product catalog: labels, ingredients, manufacturers. We layer scoring + safety signals on top.
DailyMed (FDA Structured Product Labels)
U.S. National Library of MedicineFDA-managed structured product label database for prescription and OTC drugs. Used to verify prescribing-information facts before any drug-supplement interaction assertion.
supp.ai-derived Candidate Queue
Allen Institute for AI (research-only reference)Auto-extracted supplement-drug interaction candidates from biomedical literature. Each candidate must pass our AI-assisted clinical review engine (pharmacist-style structured grading on mechanism, evidence weight, and severity) before promotion into the published interactions corpus consumers see.
Health Canada / EFSA / TGA / WADA
International regulatory bodiesCross-jurisdictional safety + sport-banned-substance signals layered on top of FDA-only data for international travelers and competitive athletes.
Clinical advisory board
Avelor is recruiting a clinical advisory board (one practicing pharmacist, one functional-medicine MD, one registered dietitian) to review interaction-severity classifications quarterly. Roster will be published here once formalized. Review in progress.
