Strengthening knowledge and understanding of dietary supplements.
About us
The Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is the lead federal government entity addressing the scientific exploration of dietary supplements. ODS is located in the NIH Office of the Director in the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives in Bethesda, MD. ODS was established by Congress as part of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-417, DSHEA). Its mission is to strengthen knowledge and understanding of dietary supplements by evaluating scientific information, stimulating and supporting research, disseminating research results, and educating the public to foster an enhanced quality of life and health for the U.S. population. ODS scientific staff have international reputations for their work in the fields of analytical chemistry, pharmacognosy, biochemistry, epidemiology, clinical nutrition, dietetics, and health communications, allowing ODS to address the complex and sometimes challenging issues pertaining to dietary supplements.

NIH is taking steps to re-envision the postdoctoral training experience, but the feedback of the biomedical research community is a crucial part of this process. Among the actions under consideration are: ➡️Limiting the amount of time a postdoctoral scholar can be supported by NIH funds to five years to speed transition into research careers. ➡️ Shorten the eligibility window and refocus review criteria for a key mentored career development award (K99/R00) to facilitate more rapid transition of postdoctoral scholars. ➡️Enhancing training and professional development for postdoctoral scholars and their mentors. Share your feedback by October 23, 2024: https://go.nih.gov/amqQ7DD

July 28 is World Hepatitis Day. Vitamin D deficiency affects the body’s susceptibility to infection, partly by weakening tissue barriers, and has been associated with an increased risk of viral infections, including hepatitis C. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dKe6Qdrk

The Dietary Supplement Ingredient Database (DSID) was developed by the Methods and Application of Food Composition Laboratory, U.S. Department of Agriculture, in collaboration with the Office of Dietary Supplements, and other federal agencies. The DSID provides estimated levels of ingredients in dietary supplement products sold in the United States. This database is intended primarily for research applications. The data are appropriate for use in population studies of nutrient intake rather than for assessing content of individual products. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eUM92kmr

In a new analysis, NIH researchers have found that taking a daily supplement containing antioxidant vitamins and minerals slows progression of late-stage dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), potentially helping people with late-stage disease preserve their central vision. https://bit.ly/3xVXyER #AMD #MacularDegeneration #research #science #NIH
Supplements slow disease progression during late stage of “dry” age-related macular degeneration

The ODS Iodine Initiative was developed in 2011 in response to concerns that some pregnant women in the United States might have inadequate iodine intakes at a time of high physiological demand. Although severe iodine deficiency is rare in the United States, it can have serious effects, including: • birth defects in newborns • lower-than-average IQ in infants and children • decreased ability to work and think clearly in adults. ODS supports research and methodology development that is focused on providing a scientific base for understanding how to improve iodine status in those with low to moderate risk of deficiency.

Can probiotics prevent atopic dermatitis? Several studies have evaluated the effects of various species and strains of probiotic bacteria on atopic dermatitis. Meta-analyses of these studies show that exposure to probiotics during pregnancy and in early infancy might reduce the risk of a child developing atopic dermatitis. https://lnkd.in/eu3rSEPa

Which probiotic is best for you? Right now, we don’t know. Even though research has shown that individuals may respond differently to the same probiotic, we don’t fully understand the reasons why. But in the future, it may be possible to identify the people most likely to benefit from specific probiotics and use that knowledge to develop tailored treatments. In a new blog post, Dr. Hye-Sook Kim of our Division of Extramural Research discusses two funding opportunities from The National Institutes of Health (NIH) for research to advance scientific understanding in this area. https://go.nih.gov/ZaMhXFV #Probiotics #PrecisionMedicine #PersonalizedMedicine #ResearchFunding #HealthResearch

The breadth and complexity of nutrition science demands that we ask ourselves and one another to engage and leverage intentional and nontraditional connections. In my July Drew’s Views blog, I talk about how it is “Through these touchpoints, we surface new research questions.” In “Small Office; Big Footprint” from the National Institutes of Health, Office of Nutrition Research, I talk about how my office works to create and sustain key connections across NIH, the federal government, and beyond, to enable new research because…#Nutrition is everyone’s business!
