How does a monograph for a botanical dietary ingredient in the United States Pharmacopeia or the Dietary Supplements Compendium differ from a monograph for an herbal article in the Herbal Medicines Compendium?

Monographs for herbal articles are included in HMC because of their use in herbal medicines, whereas botanical (herbal) dietary ingredients are included in the United States Pharmacopeia and the Dietary Supplements Compendium because of their use in dietary supplements legally marketed in the United States. These standards may have considerable overlap, but also may differ for reasons that relate to their intended use.
