Dietary Supplement Ingredient Database (DSID)
The Dietary Supplement Ingredient Database (DSID) provides estimated levels of ingredients in dietary supplement products sold in the U.S. The DSID is intended primarily for research applications. DSID has been developed by the Nutrient Data Laboratory within the Agricultural Research Service, in collaboration with the Office of Dietary Supplements at NIH and other federal agencies.
This resource is produced by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This resource is for members of the Academy only a portion of the data is available for non-subscribers.
