Documentation
Her Vitals publishes its index of UK women's supplement categories as a free, read-only JSON API, an OpenAPI 3.1 spec and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so people, applications and AI agents can read the same structured data the site is built on. It is licensed CC BY 4.0, needs no key, and holds no personal data. It is information only, not medical advice.
Information, not medical advice. The data describes supplement categories and the EFSA-permitted "contributes to normal..." roles only. Supplements are regulated as food, not medicines, and cannot legally claim to treat, prevent or cure any condition. Always read product labels and speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting a supplement, especially in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Cite the NHS, NICE and EFSA for clinical guidance.

OM
Editor, Her Vitals
Oliver leads Her Vitals's editorial coverage of women's life-stage health and supplements. He curates and reviews existing branded products across trying to conceive, pregnancy, postnatal, perimenopause, menopause and the senior years, weighing what the evidence supports against guidance from bodies such as EFSA, the NHS and NICE, and is clear that the content is information rather than medical advice.
