RESEARCH SUMMARY
The Nutrient Data Laboratory (NDL), Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center (BHNRC), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), USDA, has been working with the Office of Dietary Supplements, National Institutes of Health (ODS/NIH) and other federal agencies to plan and develop a Dietary Supplement Ingredient Database (DSID) to evaluate levels of ingredients in dietary supplement products. The DSID is funded in large part by the Office of Dietary Supplements. It builds on the well-recognized strengths of the USDA ARS in developing databases that support the assessment of intake of nutrients from foods. ODS provides leadership, jointly with its federal partners, in making this a reality. The consortium of federal agencies includes ODS and partners at USDA/ARS, the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (NCHS/CDC), The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) , the National Cancer Institute (NCI), NIH and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the Department of Commerce.
