WellWise.org, a recently-launched nonprofit foundation, provides an authoritative new website on supplements, the science behind them and other health strategies.
"We aspire to become a trusted source of information on supplemental nutrition and news, as well as a meeting place for intelligent consumers, nutritionists, integrative medical practitioners and researchers in this important field of dietary supplements," said James Townsend, the site's editor in chief.
“It is not easy to find real evidence-backed information on supplements and nutrition on the web," he added. "The vast majority of it is thinly veiled marketing for a specific brand of supplement. We feel the public needs something more objective in order to make informed decisions about health."
Visitors to WellWise.org will find extensive information on a range of supplements, and the latest on their impact on various health conditions, with links to actual scientific research behind them. The site also features blogs by numerous distinguished scientists, food and nutrition writers, researchers and doctors.
Each month, the site will highlight a "Featured Nutrient", offering in-depth reporting on the value of and recent science behind the nutrient, as well as video and audio interviews with newsmakers in the world of supplements and nutrition.
