Operation Supplement Safety

Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) is a joint military initiative between the Human Performance Resource Center and the Department of Defense (DoD) to educate service members and retirees, their family members, leaders, healthcare providers, and DoD clinicians about dietary supplements and how to choose them wisely. Get information and ratings on dietary supplements, herbal products, vitamins, minerals, homeopathic products, complementary alternative medicines, alternative treatments (e.g., acupuncture), traditional Chinese medicine products, and other natural remedies. OPSS has teamed up with Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database to provide you with multiple databases and interactive features including an Effectiveness Checker, Nutrient Depletion Checker, Interaction Checker, and Natural Medicines Brand Evidence-based Ratings (NMBER)®.
