Your questions about AI engines
How do I expose dosage in structured data?
Add an additionalProperty of type PropertyValue with name='Dosage', value='500' and unitText='mg' in your schema.org Product. AI agents extract this data to compare products.
Are contraindications verified by AI?
Yes. Cautious AI systems look for visible contraindications, especially for pregnant/breastfeeding women and drug interactions. Expose them in both content and schema.
What impact does a nutritionist recommendation have?
An endorsement from a nutritionist or dietitian is major proof of expertise. Marked up, it is expert validation AI systems can read and verify.

The supplements industry averages 8 structured fields, 12 AI-extractable claims, 3 trust signals in schema, and 4 content gaps. Your audit compares your store against these benchmarks.
Should the galenic form (capsules, powder, liquid) be in the schema?

Do health-advice chatbots create merchant liability in 2026?
Yes. The Moffatt v. Air Canada (2024) ruling established full merchant liability for chatbot-provided information. New York Senate Bill S7263 (February 2026) creates explicit civil liability for chatbot health advice.

Never allow a chatbot to recommend dosages or diagnose conditions : restrict it to verified product information only.
