Dietary supplement bibliography released

The Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) released the 2005 issue of the Annual Bibliography of Significant Advances in Dietary Supplement Research.

This seventh issue of the bibliography includes abstracts of 25 noteworthy dietary supplement research papers published in 2005, as judged by an international team of reviewers. It also includes papers on the efficacy of botanicals, effects of B-vitamins, calcium, and vitamin D on fractures, interaction of mineral supplementation on mineral status, and the effects of vitamin E on cardiovascular disease.

Each of the 25 papers reports a study result that is of importance to the field of supplement research, as it describes mechanisms by which supplements act to create a health effect or provides a better understanding of the health effects in individuals.
