National Library of Medicine releases new resource

Thursday, 3rd January 2008

The National Library of Medicine has released a new resource focused

on dietary supplements. The Dietary Supplements Labels Database,

http://dietarysupplements.nlm.nih.gov, includes information from the

labels of over 2,000 brands of dietary supplements in the

marketplace, including vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals,

amino acids,

and other specialty supplements.

The database is designed to help both the general public and health

care providers find information about ingredients in brand-name

products, including name, form, active and inactive ingredients,

amount of active

ingredient/unit, manufacturer/distributor information, suggested

dose, label claims, warnings, percentage of daily value, and further

label information.

Links to other NLM resources, such as MedlinePlus® and PubMed®,

are provided for additional health information. In addition, links to

related Fact Sheets from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),

Office of Dietary supplements (ODS), National Center for

Complementary

and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), and the National Cancer Institute

(NCI) are also available.

Thank you for this post. I went to the data base and have found some

very helpful and useful information. I have passed it on to a client

as well.

Thank you so much

One of the ST members (Tom Keller) kindly noted that the link that I

provided on the dietary supplements label database is broken. The

reason is the comma. Below is the correct link:
