I came across this online chart of supplements that provides an interesting way to view the data. I thought there would be some interest, here.

It's come up before, most recently here. The consensus seems to be that the method of displaying the information is really cool, but their data is crappy. The literature on supplements, and biomedical issues in general, is complex. It's hard to use data display software as your only interface to the literature and expect to get a good result. I think there needs to be some expert intervention somewhere between the raw data and the display. Either that or smarter software. I think that machine analysis of the scientific literature will, in the long run, be a tremendous advance. I just don't think we're there yet.
