  • Apple

    Ingredient research · Apple

    Apple is a whole-food ingredient supplying fermentable fiber, especially pectin, alongside polyphenols and other plant compounds relevant to digestive and cardiometabolic health. In supplements, it is usually provided as powder, fiber, or extract; benefits depend on which fraction is present, and whole-apple effects do not automatically apply to concentrated products.

  • Beet

    Ingredient research · Beets

    Beets are nitrate-rich root vegetables; concentrated juice and powders can raise nitric oxide availability, improving blood flow. Supplementation may modestly lower blood pressure and enhance endurance exercise efficiency, though effects depend partly on the product’s nitrate content rather than beet-derived compounds in general.

  • Raspberry

    Ingredient research · Red Raspberry

    Red Raspberry refers to the fruit or fruit-derived preparations, which contain polyphenols and, in whole-fruit powders, fiber. Supplements are mainly considered for antioxidant and metabolic support, but distinct human benefits remain uncertain; they should not be confused with raspberry leaf products or isolated raspberry ketone.

  • Pineapple

    Ingredient research · Pineapple

    Pineapple is a whole fruit providing vitamin C, manganese, and various plant compounds, but it has no clearly established role as a distinct supplement beyond contributing those nutrients. Pineapple-derived products are often considered for digestion or inflammation, largely because the fruit contains bromelain; benefits shown for concentrated bromelain should not be assumed for pineapple itself.

  • Pumpkin

    Ingredient research · Pumpkin

    Pumpkin supplements are usually made from Cucurbita pepo seeds or seed oil, whose fatty acids and plant sterols motivate their use for urinary health. They may modestly ease lower urinary tract symptoms associated with prostate enlargement or an overactive bladder, although effects depend on the preparation.

  • Cherry

    Ingredient research · Cherry

    Cherry supplements concentrate anthocyanins and other polyphenols associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. They may modestly support exercise recovery and joint comfort; sleep benefits are mainly associated with tart cherry products, so relevance depends on the cherry variety and preparation used.

  • Cauliflower

    Ingredient research · Cauliflower

    Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable valued as a food for its fiber, vitamins, minerals, and glucosinolates, plant compounds that can form biologically active breakdown products. Cauliflower powders or extracts have no clearly established benefit beyond the nutritional value of eating the whole vegetable.

  • Grape

    Ingredient research · Grape

    Grape is a whole-fruit ingredient containing polyphenols and other plant compounds that may modestly support blood-vessel function and cardiovascular health. Its effects depend heavily on whether the product is juice, powder, or extract, and it should not be assumed to provide the same benefits as grape-seed extract or isolated resveratrol.

  • Banana

    Ingredient research · Banana

    Banana is a whole fruit rather than a distinct supplement ingredient, providing carbohydrate along with potassium, vitamin B6, and fiber. It can serve as convenient fuel and contribute to digestive and cardiovascular nutrition, but products labeled simply as banana vary substantially depending on whether they contain whole-fruit powder, starch, or flavoring.

  • Cabbage

    Ingredient research · Brassica oleracea

    Brassica oleracea is the plant species that includes broccoli, cabbage, kale, and related vegetables, so the name alone does not identify a standardized supplement. Extracts are generally taken for glucosinolates and compounds such as sulforaphane, with interest in antioxidant and cellular-defense pathways, but their composition and demonstrated human benefits vary widely.

  • Tomato

    Ingredient research · Tomato

    Tomato is a whole-food source of carotenoids, especially lycopene, along with potassium, vitamin C, and polyphenols. Concentrated tomato powders or extracts may modestly support cardiovascular health and the skin’s resilience to UV exposure, but their effects depend on how closely the product retains and delivers these components.

  • Acai

    Ingredient research · Acai Berry

    Acai Berry is a dark-purple fruit rich in anthocyanins and other polyphenols, usually supplemented as powders or extracts for its antioxidant appeal.

Supplements may help reduce recurrent urinary tract infections in some people, but they do not treat an active infection, and effectiveness depends partly on the product’s composition.

  • Cucumber

    Ingredient research · Cucumber

    Cucumber is a water-rich food rather than a well-established supplement; powders and extracts are taken for their plant compounds and are sometimes promoted for antioxidant, skin, or joint support. These products vary substantially, and cucumber itself has no clearly demonstrated supplemental benefit beyond its role as a food.

  • Pea

  • Broccoli

    Ingredient research · Brassica oleracea

    Brassica oleracea is the plant species that includes broccoli, cabbage, kale, and related vegetables, so the name alone does not identify a standardized supplement. Extracts are generally taken for glucosinolates and compounds such as sulforaphane, with interest in antioxidant and cellular-defense pathways, but their composition and demonstrated human benefits vary widely.

  • Spinach

    Ingredient research · Spinach

    Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy vegetable rather than a well-defined supplement, supplying folate, vitamin K, carotenoids, and dietary nitrate as part of the diet.
