NIH Office of Dietary Supplements Factsheets

Yes - they are from the USA so some aspects need to be interpreted. We have to be careful about exact equivalents in food, weights and measures, etc. And no fact sheets - anywhere - cover everything.

But these factsheets are in my view among the best single sheet informations sources about numerous things that could be regarded as dietary supplements. If you want to go further, they have references. If you want a simpler, shorter option, their Consumer sheets provide that.

Far, far better for the purpose than the UK information such as Food Standards Agency and NHS websites. (Not being exact equivalents, I might be somewhat unfair here.)

Link is to the list of all their factsheets:

Another US Gov website that could be of interest :

nih.gov/about-nih/what-we-d...

nccih.nih.gov/health/atoz

It's from this organisation :

National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health

It's annoying, but lots of links to this organisation sometimes end up being "Not Found", but then next time you try they work.

The NIH sites are many and sprawling!

There is a section on National Institutes of Health in my links document which has links to many of them. It was fairly complete and working when I created the document but time does tend to take its toll on websites.

helvella's Links and References document contains many links to other organisations

A single document containing numerous links to relevant websites. With a focus on the UK it nonetheless includes many non-UK sites.

Rather than a simple list of links, there is a page (or more) per site. This is intended to provide some flavour of the site before you decide whether to visit.

That’s really useful. I really like the choice between the consumer sheet and the detailed stuff.
