Trans-NIH Resilience Working Group Inaugural Webinar
The O ffi ce of Dietary Supplements (ODS), in its role as a coordinating o ffi ce within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) O ffi ce of the Director (OD), established the Trans-NIH Resilience Working Group in 2019 to bring together NIH Institutes, Centers, and O ffi ces (ICOs) that have strategic priorities related to, or funds dedicated to, resilience programs. The group identi fi ed the need for a comprehensive resilience research model that complements the NIH ’ s mission to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and to promote the application of that knowledge to enhance heal...

NIH Office of Dietary Supplements: Dietary Supplements: What You Need to Know
The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements
More than half of adults and one-third of children in the United States take one or more dietary supplements such as multivitamins, omega-3 fish oil, St. John ’ s wort, or melatonin. During this presentation, nutrition scientists from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) will provide an overview of dietary supplements and describe what you need to know to inform your decision-making about whether or when to take these products.
Joseph M. Betz, Ph.D., ODS Acting Director, will give a brief introduction to this seminar.

Stephen E. Straus Distinguished Lecture: Transforming Veterans ’ Health: Implementing a Whole Health System of Care
The Stephen E. Straus Distinguished Lecture in the Science of Complementary Health Therapies was established to honor Dr. Straus, the founding director of the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). This series brings leading figures in science and medicine to the NIH to speak about their perspective on the field of complementary medicine.
The challenges for the American health care system have been massive in recent years, including for the system that cares for our military veterans. A key cause is the “ disease-driven approach to care ” (National Academy of Medicine). One of the results, ma...

Iron Screening and Supplementation of Iron-replete Pregnant Women and Children (Day 1)
Iron is well recognized as an essential nutrient needed for growth and development. Iron deficiency has serious consequences and, for this reason, is a public health concern particularly for pregnant women and young children (6-24 months). At the same time, ensuring sufficient intakes of iron must be balanced by avoiding too much iron as there are also consequences to excessive iron intake. The Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is sponsoring an open public meeting titled, “Iron Screening and Supplementation of Iron‐replete Pregnant Women and Young Children,” September 28-2...

Iron Status Pregnant Women and Infants: Research Needs for Screening and Supplementation Strategies in the US (Day 1)
The workshop outcome will be the identification and prioritization of research gaps and needs.
To develop research recommendations focused on clarifying the benefit and/or harms associated with (a) screening pregnant women and infants (6-24 mos.) for iron deficiency and (b) supplementing replete pregnant women and infants (6-24 mos.) with iron. In 2015 these preventive activities were determined by USPSTF to lack sufficient evidence to demonstrate benefit or harm.
Pregnant women are among the group most likely to have inadequate intakes of iron. During pregnancy, plasma volume and red cell mass expand due to dramatic ...

Addressing Challenges in the Assessment of Botanical Dietary Supplement Safety (Day 2)
The safety of botanical dietary supplements, hereafter referred to as botanicals, is an important public health issue. According to the 2012 National Health Interview Survey, 17.7 percent of Americans reported having used nonvitamin, nonmineral dietary supplements (including botanicals) in the past 12 months (Clarke et al., 2015). Botanicals pose several unique challenges to efficacy and safety evaluation because of their inherent complexity and potential for wide variability in nominally related products. The interrelated challenges associated with the evaluation of botanicals include: (1) developing methods and criteria ...

Expert Panel: Identifying Research Needs for Assessing Safe Use of High Intakes of Folic Acid (Day 2)
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) and Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) are convening an expert panel to identify research needs related to the safe use of high intakes of folic acid based on consideration of the state of the science. The expert panel meeting will bring together experts from multiple disciplines including, but not limited to, epidemiology, nutrition, medicine, and toxicology. In preparation for this evaluation, screening of the literature was undertaken to identify potential adverse health effects for which further research might be warranted. A literature review document is being prepared on four ...
