The Dietary Supplement subset is a joint project between the NIH National Library of Medicine (NLM®) and ODS. This subset was created using a search strategy including terms provided by ODS, and selected journals indexed for MEDLINE® that include significant dietary supplement-related content.

Access is by common name or botanical name. The database describes ethnic uses for the plant and conditions that it treats. Some products are sold through the website but this is not a prominent feature. Dr. Leslie Taylor, a naturopathic physician is the founder and head of this project.
