Supplements

Scan a supplement label.

The actives under the names you know, and everything else that is in there.

Coming first to Android.

A supplement label names its actives in the form they were manufactured in, not the form you have heard of: cholecalciferol rather than vitamin D3, pyridoxine hydrochloride rather than B6. Most of the rest of the list is carriers, bulking agents and flow agents, which are declared in full and explained nowhere. UnPeel names every one and keeps the actives and the excipients apart, so a long list stops looking like a long list of actives. Where a claim has authorised wording, that is the wording used; where nothing is on record, it says so.

On the label

Cholecalciferol

What it actually is

Vitamin D3

Sometimes the unpronounceable one is the good news. This is the same form your own skin makes in sunlight.

What the app shows

Adds bone minerals

Contributes to normal calcium absorption

What can I scan — and does it really work on non-food?

Anything with an ingredients panel: food, skincare, supplements, pet food and household products. You never pick a category — the app works out what it is looking at, and a serum, a bag of kibble and a bottle of bleach each get an analysis written for that kind of product, rather than a food analysis awkwardly reused.
