Database of Dietary Supplement Labels


A database of labels of dietary supplements being sold in the United States is a joint project of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with the National Library of Medicine The database information comes from the dietary supplement labels and may or may not be meet current requirements.

The database can be browsed or searched by key word, ingredients, product name, or claim language. NIH plans to eventually include most of the more than 55,000 dietary supplement products sold in the U.S., but the database currently contains about one third of the labels.
