What is a resource for natural product and alternative medicine information?

  1. USP Dietary Supplements Compendium

  2. Index Nominum

  3. Lexi-tox

  4. ASHP

The correct answer is: USP Dietary Supplements Compendium

The USP Dietary Supplements Compendium is a valuable resource for natural product and alternative medicine information because it provides comprehensive and evidence-based monographs on dietary supplements. This compendium includes information on the composition, quality, purity, and strength of dietary supplements, helping healthcare professionals make informed decisions regarding their use. Option B, Index Nominum, is a reference tool for prescription drugs and their international non-proprietary names, not specifically for natural products or alternative medicine. Option C, Lexi-tox, is a toxicology database that focuses on poisoning and overdose information rather than natural products and alternative medicine. Option D, ASHP (American Society of Health-System Pharmacists), is an organization that provides various resources and guidelines for pharmacists working in health systems, but it does not specifically focus on natural product and alternative medicine information like the USP Dietary Supplements Compendium does.
