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.

Muscles and Skin, hair and nails and Thyroid

1466 capsules across 71 ingredients

Muscles. Ingredients here hold register claims relating to normal muscle function or muscle protein, quoted exactly on their pages. Resistance exercise and overall protein intake are the fundamentals the claims assume; the NHS exercise guidance below is a good starting point.

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.

Thyroid. Only iodine and selenium hold authorised register wording about the thyroid, quoted exactly on their pages. Thyroid conditions are diagnosed and managed by a GP, and the British Thyroid Foundation is the specialist charity.

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.
