Find capsules by goal

Say what you want help with. The finder shows what the GB register lets any seller claim for it, what the register assessed and refused, and the cheapest capsules per capsule for each ingredient. It quotes; it never advises.

Blood sugar and Skin, hair and nails and Stress and Blood and iron

1526 capsules across 68 ingredients

Blood sugar. A small number of ingredients hold authorised register wording about normal blood glucose levels, quoted exactly on their pages; a much larger number of claims about blood sugar were assessed and refused. Nothing here is about treating or preventing diabetes, and anyone managing blood glucose should follow their care team's advice. Diabetes UK is the specialist charity.

Skin, hair and nails. The register authorises specific wording for several nutrients relating to normal skin, hair or nails, and this page collects them with the wording quoted exactly. Marketing in this category runs far ahead of the register; the split below shows exactly where the line sits.

Stress. Very few ingredients hold authorised register claims in this area, and this page is honest about that: the split below shows what may be said and what may not. Ingredients people discuss for stress appear with their register status, and Mind's resources cover support that goes beyond nutrition.

Blood and iron. Ingredients here hold register wording about normal red blood cell formation, oxygen transport, iron absorption or normal blood clotting, quoted exactly on their pages. Suspected iron deficiency needs a blood test before a supplement; the NHS page below explains why.

Nothing here is medical advice. The wording is the GB register's, quoted exactly; whether a product qualifies to use it is the seller's responsibility. Speak to a GP or pharmacist before taking a supplement, especially if you are pregnant, take medicines or have a diagnosed condition. Wording from the GB nutrition and health claims register; mapping reviewed 4 September 2026.
