    Default Vitamin Database for Palm OS?

    I have literally scoured the internet looking for a straight-forward and simple database regarding vitamins, their properties, dosages, minerals, and supplements for my Palm Treo PDA.

    The model I have in my mind is something along the lines of Earl Mindell's Vitamin Bible, where you could look up the name of almost any vitamin, mineral or supplement imaginable and find out pretty much everything there is to know about that supplement including foods where the vitamin is commonly found, independent of any dietary program and in layman's terms (not medical jargon).

    Do you know of Any Such Palm PDA database or program????
    I already have the USRDA "SR19" - that only lets you search by food.
    I have the Town Compass "Nutrition Databse" - what a joke that one is!

    I seriously need something like the Mindell book where I can find ALL the properties of a supplement / vitamin / mineral for my Palm PDA (Treo 650).

    Also looking for a solid Calorie Counter that lists ALL the major USRDA vitamins in EACH Food, with the ability to Lookup by Vitamin / Mineral / Supplement and see a list of all foods that have that vitamin, etc.

    ANY AND ALL RECOMMENDATIONS MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
    Thanks! :D

    You've probably already checked this, but you may want to look into some of the user groups for popular db apps like HandDbase. Someone may have created a db similar to what you're looking for.

    As a physician, I can tell you that Epocrates is by far the most widely used drug database used in the medical community. Very accurate, up to date, and free. It does contain many over the counter drugs, including vitamins and can be found at www.epocrates.com.
