Method and limitations
The population is the four launch ingredients in our own catalog. Each ingredient’s source-review count is the number of recorded research reviews; the distinct-source count deduplicates their exact source URLs within that ingredient. Neither count represents the number of audited suppliers, independent laboratory tests, or commercially available products.
Offering counts use the catalog’s recorded eligibility status. Confirmed and growing-origin-unconfirmed are separate categories. Unreviewed and ineligible records are not counted in those columns. Phase-two research topics are excluded from this table. The source code and CSV use the same calculation, so the displayed table and download remain consistent.
This small, selected dataset cannot support conclusions about the quality of Chinese manufacturers or the proportion of the market that is transparent. Missing evidence is not evidence of poor quality. There is no percentage when the relevant population is unknown, and no invented industry benchmark.
The underlying review date is shown on each ingredient page. Counts update when the catalog changes; this is a current view, not a historical time series. Source pages may change after review. Follow the links to inspect the recorded quotations, dates, and limitations.
Reuse and corrections
You may cite this coverage table with its scope and review date and link back to this page. The CSV contains counts, not third-party source text. Submit a correction or additional evidence, and read the eligibility and scoring methodology before interpreting any listing.
