Launched in 2008, NIH's DSLD (https://dsld.nlm.nih.gov/dsld/) currently catalogs information printed on over 125,000 (historical and current) labels of dietary supplement products sold in the U.S.. The database is maintained and updated continuously, and new versions deployed regularly. The new home page includes a prominent search bar and counter that displays the number of searchable labels in the database. The redesigned website yields near-instantaneous label retrieval, a more attractive layout of information, tailored search filters and download options, and the ability to view data in pictorial formats resulting in a much-improved user experience. The modernization of the DSLD ensures that this NIH resource has new forms of data delivery to meet the needs of App developers and data scientists, and improved performance for users. The DSLD is updated frequently to reflect the products sold in the rapidly evolving U.S. dietary supplement market.
