## How to call it through Zero

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent or user needs an objective, evidence-based breakdown of a specific supplement ingredient — especially when assessing efficacy, scientific backing, or cost-effectiveness. Prefer this over general web search when a structured, curated supplement intelligence response is needed rather than raw articles or forum posts.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized or misspelled ingredient name returns an error or empty result
- Highly obscure or novel ingredients may have limited evidence data
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) if USDC payment is not processed correctly
- Network timeout if ingredient lookup takes longer than expected
