2005 Bibliography Shows Significant Advances in Dietary Supplement Research
The Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced the release of 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.
Compared with previous issues of the bibliography, this issue has more papers testing the efficacy of commercially available products against their marketed claims. The 2005 bibliography 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 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.
Of more than 1,000 papers that were considered from 58 peer-reviewed journals, 261 were sent for evaluation to an international team of 50 scientific reviewers. The selection of the 25 papers to be included in the bibliography was based on the rankings of these scientists, who are recognized experts in the fields of nutrition, botanical sciences, and public health.
This year's issue was released Sept. 17 at the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo of the American Dietetic Association.
