Do you take a dietary supplement on a regular basis – like a multivitamin or a supplement for a specific vitamin? If you do – you’re not alone!
According to the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) more than 170 million Americans take dietary supplements – that’s about 71% off American adults. According to the Council for Responsible Nutrition the five most popular supplements are the multivitamin, vitamin D, vitamin C, calcium and vitamin B/B complex.
Living in the Northwest where the sun is a bit more elusive than other areas in the country – our doctor recommends a multivitamin for us and our kids – to help out especially with Vitamin D levels. And every time we start to feel a cold coming on we usually grab our Vitamin C supplements to help our immune system. Perhaps you can relate?
According to a recent study done by the CRN, the top ten reasons for why people take supplements are :
- Overall health/wellness benefits
- Energy
- To fill in nutrient gaps in my diet
- Immune health
- Bone health
- Heart Health
- Healthy Aging
- Skin, hair and nails
- Digestive/gastrointestinal health
- Joint health
Do you take a supplement for one of these reasons? Since there is no such thing as a perfect diet (and since we can’t control environmental factors like a lack of sunshine!) – dietary supplements can help fill nutritional gaps and promote overall health and wellness. When combined with a healthy diet they can work together to make sure we’re giving our bodies what they need to be healthy.
There are countless options for dietary supplements – many available at your local grocery store or vitamin shop. But before selection a supplement – it’s always a good idea to talk with your doctor or health care practitioner to find out what dietary supplements are right for you.
