Hi MHW,
Welcome to you too and thanks.
Regarding supplements, you can enter a specific thing or illness in the search field, and the site is a vitamin web site so it will look for the supplement most commonly recommended, then you can check it for contra-indications, side effects, etc. You can also enter any meds you are taking and and it will run a test for all contra-indications and side effects with all herbal supplements and vitamins as well as other meds that may intra-indicate. IMO, that is one of the best sites to begin you checks on any medication, vitamin or supplements. Thats the Vitamin Life site that is tied to the adam system. Here's the link:
<A HREF="
http://www.livingnaturally.com/common/a ... 35785A#Use" TARGET=_blank>
http://www.livingnaturally.com/common/a ... 85A#Use</A>
Use the navigation menu on the left to get all kinds of information discussed and other stuff I haven't mentioned here. If you don't get what you want try the home link and then the search field. All you need is some key word, like Depression, Diabetes, stuff like that. If that doesn't work on the home page try the Shop at then use the search field there to fine supplements and natural remedies for example: "Anxiety" renders this page:
<A HREF="
http://www.vitaminlife.com/search.php?n ... mit=Search" TARGET=_blank>
http://www.vitaminlife.com/search.php?n ... =Search</A>
On the first item if you click on the hyper link it will render:
<A HREF="
http://www.vitaminlife.com/product-exec ... t_id/43228" TARGET=_blank>
http://www.vitaminlife.com/product-exec ... d/43228</A>
It also displays the contents to which GABA or Gamma Aminobuyyric Acid is the # 1 item.
Surf to your right adjacent to the Supplement facts where you see Health information you will see Drug interactions with supplements or below it Supplement interactions with Drugs click on that link to go here:
<A HREF="
http://www.livingnaturally.com/common/a ... 02F135785A" TARGET=_blank>
http://www.livingnaturally.com/common/a ... 135785A</A>
Failing this you can use this you were sent to the earlier list of products that may be used for Anxiety, but since the reference libraries did not yield a link in the reference library for the item (GABA) I entered Anxiety in the search of of reference libraries where it came up at the top. Click it and it took me here:

If you click on treatment options:
it takes you there and you see the typical prescription med on their main ingredients. Scroll further down and you can find alternative therapies and what they are, in terms of dietary advice and what supplements are commonly used for the treatment.
Then you can start all over with each item to check to see what contra-indications there are and if the supplements should or should not be used.
Well this was a good exercise in trying to guide you that site. But the more you search around there the more you will learn how to use it.
Whew! I am winded from all that surfing.
Hope this helps.
Oh, and BTW- your post probably got lost in hyper-space. It s happened to me several times. Now, before I post my reply. I right click, select all in my reply, and right click copy. The I paste it some where else so it doesn't get lost, like on a note pad or word document, before I click the post it now button. This saves me some grief and stress. Odd, that this happens on site called the stresscenter.com.
Take care and hugs,
