Reading an Australian supplement label

Quick answer

AUST L marks a listed complementary medicine on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). It is not a quality stamp for a culinary food powder. NutriThrive moringa is sold as a single-ingredient food leaf powder for kitchen use. It is not an AUST L listed medicine, and we do not invent an ARTG number for it. No therapeutic claims on this page.

AUST L, AUST L(A), AUST R

AUST L: listed complementary medicine pathway. The sponsor certifies the product meets TGA rules for that pathway and only uses permitted indications.

AUST L(A): listed with extra TGA assessment of certain indications. Still not full registration.

AUST R: registered medicine with individual TGA evaluation of quality, safety, and efficacy.

Primary detail lives on the TGA site and the ARTG public search. A blog post does not replace the label or the ARTG entry.

What AUST L does not mean

• Not "TGA approved as a cure"
• Not automatically "Australian made"
• Not a food-powder quality certificate
• Not proof the product is right for your situation

Food powder vs listed medicines

FSANZ sets food standards. The TGA regulates therapeutic goods. A powder sold as a cooking ingredient sits in a different lane from capsules that make therapeutic-style indications and show an AUST L number. Demanding a medicine code on kitchen leaf powder mixes the lanes up.

For food powders, ask for batch lab paperwork. For packs that claim to be medicines, verify the AUST number on the ARTG search. That is label literacy, not a treatment recommendation.
