While updating my files on curcumin formulations (Thanks to MB's recent post on Thracurmin for cognitive function), this website popped up in my search results. It was developed by the Allen Institute for AI (founded by Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen) and is designed to search for supplement interactions/contraindications, which it seems to do quite well. However, I find it to be equally useful to find synergistic and antagonistic relationships between/among supplements.
Here is a link to the Supp.ai homepage.
And a link to a brief publication paper describing the effort:
Just put a supplement into the search bar and you will get a listing of possible interactions. The search brings up key phrases from various published research papers with the paper titles and links to each. Click on any supplements or drugs in the interactions list and you will get results for the combo.
As an example, here is a link to the results of a search for Quercetin. (The box for each "possible interaction" lists the number of citations found in the search database.)
supp.ai/a/quercetin/C003439...
From the list you can click on any possible interactions and it will expand to show results of research for the two in combination, for example quercetin + curcumin. Where the research is more extensive, those search results can be expanded using the "See More Mentions" box at the end. You can go through the "possible interactions" list and get results for each one in combination with the supplement in question.
The database indicates it is current to one year ago. I'm not sure of effort by the creators to keep it updated - or not, but ether way it is a very useful tool for now. If you want to know how the database was constructed, here is a link to a split-screen video/slide presentation that gives the details of what methodology was used and how the AI search works:

Keep researching & Stay S&W, Ciao - K9
