ESHA Research has provided nutrient information to health care providers and the world's top food manufacturing firms for more than 25 years. Now, through eshadata, ESHA's award-winning software databases are available for licensing, allowing for unique integration with your software or web applications.
Rather than developing and maintaining your own nutrient or exercise databases, you will save countless man hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars by relying on ESHA's expertise in this area.
The nutrient databases total more than 37,000 foods, track 160+ nutrient factors, combine nutrient data from 2,600+ scientific sources of information, and are updated daily.
You will not find a more accurate, more extensive nutrient database anywhere.
The exercise databases include 654 exercises and calculated METs and calories burned for an activity's duration.
Our nutrient databases total more than 27,000 unique foods, track 160+ nutrient factors, and combine nutrient data from 2,600+ scientific sources of information.
With the latest USDA data-sets at its core, and a team of researchers updating the information daily, you will not find a more extensive, accurate database anywhere.
The Nutrient Database is divided into five sections. Each section is available as a separate entity, or as part of a package that you design.

Our master database consists of over 37,000 items – ranging from food components (potassium bicarbonate) to common items (eggs, sugar) to fast foods (Wendy's, Denny's) to brand name items (Gerber baby foods, Kraft).
Since each situation is unique, we are set up to accommodate nearly any structure you desire. Not only can you choose which database section(s), which food group(s) and which nutrients/nutrient factors are included in your database, but we will we will do our best to provide the database to you in your required format – from comma delimited to a relational database (in MS Access, for example.)
In addition, provisions can be made for periodic (quarterly, annually, etc.) database updates.
An initial database can be shipped within days of a contract, with preliminary (sample) databases available any time before that. This sample database often gets things in motion for design and preliminary testing of the application.
If you have specific questions, please contact our technical support team by email at support@esha.com.
In addition to the nutrient information, we can provide you with a database of more than 654 exercises and activities, and the amount of calories each activity burns over a specific period of time.
This database can be used alone, but would make an excellent addition to your nutrition database package.
