Integration suggestion: Supplement-drug interaction safety API #1

Description

@TruthStack1

Nice project: the common API interface approach for healthcare agents is smart, and the USDA food/nutrition integration is useful.
A natural complement: supplement-drug interaction checking. About 75% of US adults take supplements, and health coaches/nutritionists (one of your target user groups) frequently need to check whether supplements are safe alongside a client's medications.

TruthStack provides a free API for this:

pythonimport requests

response = requests.post(
"https://api.truthstack.co/api/interactions/check",
headers={"X-API-Key": "your-key"},
json={
"supplements": ["ashwagandha", "fish oil", "vitamin d"],
"medications": ["metformin", "lisinopril"]
}
)

Returns directed interactions, severity scores, FDA adverse event data

The API also has compound search with fuzzy matching (584 aliases), individual compound safety profiles, and FAERS/CAERS adverse event signals.

Would fit well as another ha.api(api_name="supplement_interactions", ...) integration alongside the existing food_calories_usda. Happy to help spec it out if there's interest.
