Medical information about diet supplements

[Riven]

I am working on completing my final paper for a class and need some more resources for information.

My topic is diet supplements, and something like a good source for medical journals or anything that has foundation would be appreciated, I have two books here but I need at least four different sources of information.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Have you tried PubMed? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/
You can also search for articles and journals using Google Scholar.

Ran by it on a search and thought about it, I'll check it out!

Thanks!

Do you have a college ID and password? Through the U of A we can go to our Library, Resources, and Journals and submit our ID's to be allowed into all academic journals. PubMed I've used before but if you don't have access it may be hard to obtain the information (you'll get the abstract but not the full article). I'll go search right now for you other Journals that come up with my ID.

ETA:

Journal of Dietary Supplements (2008 - present)
Journal of Nutraceuticals, Functional & Medical Foods (2000 - 2004)
Food Science & Nutrition you can look under as well.

Position of the American Dietetic Association: nutrient supplementation.

Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am. 1999 Aug;10(3):673-703.

But you should have access to a database of all journals like Sasha said through your university's library. I know when I've needed something from a journal, I could access the portal and find everything just like I was in the library reading it, except easier.

I've been finding some stuff on pubmed which is good, I have a college ID and password for my college if that helps any, lol. I can try it out!

Does your college have a link to their Libraries? There should be a place to log in your college id/password to access their books/journals/etc.

Thanks for all the help guys, paper is done and ready to be handed in on Monday, one last chapter test to take in that class and it's done, and I can be done with my classes for this semester, but I think I'll probably do the optional final in Chemistry to try for an A, our instructor will drop the lowest grade if we do it, or if we want to keep the grade we have we don't have to do it! He's a super instructor, I loved his class!
