How do I add a new supplement to the supplement list?

Hilary

You can add supplements the same way you would add a food. From your Diary, select Add Food to search for the supplement in our database or use the barcode scanner feature in the mobile app.
For supplements missing from our database, create a custom food with these steps: https://cronometer.com/help/foods/#addfood
We have a curation team dedicated to reviewing the foods and supplements being submitted and we will gladly add your foods to our database once they've been reviewed!

I should have been more clear. I am taking Purity Products', Perfect Multi Super Greens. I was wondering if there was a way to add this to the existing list in your data base? You already have several Purity Products supplements but, not this one. How do I easily add it to the list? I don't want to have to look at the label and put in all of the individual ingredients, I would think that there's an easier way.
Also, how do I use the scanner feature on my phone? I do have the app on my phone already, I just don't know where the directions are on how to use the scanner. If I could just scan the bar code and all the information would appear that would the the simplest way to go.
Thank.

I found a blog post that explained it, thanks. I took pictures of the bottle and submitted it. Will whoever does the research on this make sure all the right information gets displayed from the label?

Hi @rubyct30 , The curation team will ensure that your product is added to the database with the correct information.

I got a rejection letter for my submission. It sounds like the ingredient label did not come through clear enough. However, when I try to submit it again, I scan the barcode and get the information that I had previously imputed and cannot get to the page that lets me take two new pictures. How can I get you the information you need? It would sure be easier if they just went to Purity Products web site for the information they need. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @rubyct30 , please respond to the email you received with regard to this product to contact support@cronometer.com about this issue!

Thanks. I pulled the label off of the bottle and took two pictures of the entire label and sent it along with the response you suggested. We'll see what happens.

I take many supplements every day. Can I copy and paste more than one supplement at a time. It would take me forever to copy and paste each one separately.

Yes you can. Go to any previous day that you put an item in your diary. Just click on the first one and then hold the shift key while clicking on any others. Each one will be highlighted and when you have selected all the items you what, right mouse click and copy. All that are selected will be copied. Then go back to your current page and right mouse click anywhere on the page and select "paste". All that you had copied will be pasted at the bottom of the page

Thank you. I will try that.

Here's another way that works for me, @Lynniehammond:
