-
FOR NMCA MEMBERS ONLY
Please read all of the following BEFORE you sign on for the first time to get
your CE ID#.
The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database website is really making a hit and getting rave reviews. It includes far more natural medicines than any other reference...organizes the data concisely so you can easily find what you need...and gives you highly scientific, reliable data.
I encourage you to read “About the Database” on the Home Page. This introduction explains how the various sections are created and how you can use them. It also describes the criteria for rating each product’s safety and efficacy.
The website contains various search features that are extremely accurate and easy to use. You can search for any name, product or keyword. You can also search for a natural product’s effectiveness, interactions between a natural product and any drug or a disease/medical condition.
When searching for brand name products, simply point and click on the ingredients to read the entire monograph for each ingredient.
Once you are in a specific monograph, you can click on “Show Me References” to see the specific references cited for the monograph. Then click on any of the thousands of reference citations, and read the original article abstract, right on your screen.
Our team of researchers add to the Database daily. Not only is it the most comprehensive and practical resource available, but it is also the most current.
Here's how you can signup for a CE ID#, which you will use for all access to the websites:
