Watson has introduced Nutri-Knowledge, a database that is designed to make researching vitamins, minerals, botanicals and other macro- and micronutrients quick and easy, with all the information in one place and organised for efficient review of content.

Watson’s Nutri-Knowledge database is claimed to be easy to navigate and provides information such as an overview of each nutrient, alternative names, common forms of that nutrient, recommended intakes, health benefits, deficiencies, and links to recent studies.

Information can be obtained by direct search for a nutrient by name, by selection of a nutrient from a list, or by selection of a health condition. If a health condition is selected, a list of micro- and macronutrients related to that topic is displayed. Examples of health condition-specific searches include bone health, eye health, and immunity, as well as woman’s health or men’s health.

Nutri-Knowledge was designed for use by professionals in the food, beverage, and dietary supplement industries, as well as media researchers and consumers looking to learn more about the health benefits of specific nutrients.
