One Traditional Chinese Medicine ingredient (molecule) from SymMap v2 (symmap.org): its protein targets with literature evidence (PubMed-cited edges are tier “laboratory”, uncited ones “computational_prediction”) and the herbs it has been identified in. A target association is a molecular finding or a prediction — NOT evidence the ingredient treats any condition.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`ingredient`	string	yes	Ingredient name (e.g. “quercetin”) or SMIT id (SMIT00013)
`targets_limit`	number	no	Max protein targets returned, 1-200 (default 50)
`herbs_limit`	number	no	Max source herbs returned, 1-200 (default 25)
