Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.
A natural or artificial flavoring agent added to mask the taste or smell of other ingredients, or to make a chewable, powder, or liquid product more palatable.
Why it’s used
Used for taste and palatability, not for any physiological effect.
What the evidence says
No efficacy claim applies because flavoring agents are not taken for an effect. Specific flavor compounds used in food and supplements are generally reviewed for food-use safety by regulatory bodies before approval.
