Hardly any that are frequently ingested are anywhere in the vicinity of the openness normally expected from open source. Openness is not and has not been sufficient, necessary, or even expected for useful medicine or basically anything else. Openness is orthogonal to efficacy and safety. It just looks correlated in software because software is totally unverified as a general rule, so “unverified, but ability to verify” is much better safety and efficacy wise than “unverified, no ability to verify”. But “unverified” of any form is worthless garbage and unfit for critical purposes. What you need is “verified” at a bare minimum, anything less is unacceptable.
