French term or phrase: substance à surveiller
For a website for a food additives, perfumes, etc. testing lab.

"Dossier technique substance à surveiller"

"Etude comparative des doses administrées lors de la prise de préparations traditionnelles contenant la substance à surveiller, et la préparation de nutraceutique."

"Dosage des substances à surveiller"

To me this seems less strong than "substance réglementée" ("controlled substance"), so I thought maybe "monitored substance". Gets a few thousand hits. Can anyone confirm/refute?

neutral  Chakib Roula: The context 'recommends" that x or y susbtance should be monitored and not yet monitored,I would rather say "to be monitored"

  -> I don't understand what you mean by "monitored and not yet monitored", but I suggested "to be monitored" as an alternative.

neutral  Lorraine Dubuc: Monitored substance is wrong in my opinion. To be monitored is the correct interpretation. Your main posting is 'monitored substance' Your explanation is what should have been posted. Sorry did not read your posting before answering.

experimental substance


Explanation:
Looking at the term more broadly made me think of the scientific method and the use of control groups and experimental groups or treatment groups when testing medications. I believe, contextually and for flow, an experimental substance would fit right in to all of the sentences you have provided as examples.

Example sentence(s):
  • Comparative study of doses administered during the standard preparation of the experimental substance....

disagree  Daryo: there is no reason why the "substance à surveiller" couldn't be already known for centuries, especially if it's part of "préparations traditionnelles"; what is "experimental" is the new préparation/formulation

  -> Actually, an experimental substance does not need to be a new substance simply the element that is being experimented upon, the experiment as oposed to the control. I do not believe you understood what I meant.
