Evidence for Supplements

If you are looking for ideas on where to start with supplements, either for general health or for a specific problem, this website from and David McCandless and Andy Perkins, presents the best available evidence for a wide variety of herbs and nutritional supplements.

Using Pubmed and the Cochrane Collaboration databases, two widely used sources for cataloging and reviewing the biomedical literature, they've identified high quality studies that looked at the use of health supplements. Then they created a spreadsheet which gives "quality of evidence" and "popularity" scores to each supplement, as well as tags for specific conditions. Pretty simple, and very powerful.
