Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database

The Kellogg Library has just acquired the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database. This core database contains almost 1,100 detailed, evidence-based monographs on individual natural ingredients (e.g., glucosamine, echinacea, etc).

You can connect to this database through the Novanet Catalogue, our databases search engine, or on the Kellogg Library website under "Drug Information".
