3Around half of all Americans take one or more
dietary supplements regularly or occasionally.
Supplements are available without a prescription
and typically come in a type of pill, powder, or
liquid.
4PEOPLE ARE TAKING THESE SUPPLEMENTS TO ENSURE
THEY ARE GETTING ENOUGH VITAL NUTRIENTS AND
PRESERVE OR ENHANCE THEIR HEALTH
5SOME SUPPLEMENTS MAY HAVE SIDE EFFECTS,
PARTICULARLY IF TAKEN WITH OTHER MEDICINES OR
BEFORE SURGERY. IF YOU HAVE OTHER HEALTH ISSUES,
SUPPLEMENTS CAN ALSO CAUSE PROBLEMS
6DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS ARE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED
STATES. THE REGULATION OF FOODS AND MEDICATIONS
(FDA) AS PRODUCTS, NOT AS MEDICINES.
7THERES LITTLE EVIDENCE THAT ANY SUPPLEMENT CAN
REVERSE THE COURSE OF ANY CHRONIC DISEASE, SAYS
HOPP. DONT TAKE SUPPLEMENTS WITH THAT
EXPECTATION.
8EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT CERTAIN SUPPLEMENTS CAN DO
DIFFERENT THINGS TO IMPROVE SAFETY.
MULTIVITAMINS, CALCIUM, AND VITAMINS B, C, AND D
ARE THE MOST COMMON NUTRIENT SUPPLEMENTS.
9WOMEN NEED IRON DURING PREGNANCY, AND VITAMIN D
IS REQUIRED FOR BREASTFED INFANTS. FOR ALL WOMEN
OF CHILDBEARING AGE, FOLIC ACID400 MICROGRAMS
PER DAY, WHETHER FROM SUPPLEMENTS OR FORTIFIED
FOOD IS ESSENTIAL.
10VITAMIN B12 PROTECTS HEALTHY NERVE AND BLOOD
CELLS.VITAMIN B12 MOSTLY COMES FROM MEAT, FISH

EFFECTS OF SOME OTHER MAY SUPPLEMENTS.

RISKS. STILL PRACTICE CAUTION. FOR EXAMPLE,
VITAMIN K CAN LESSEN THE ABILITY OF BLOOD
THINNERS TO FUNCTION.

LOT TO KNOW. ONE RECENT RESEARCH SHOWED
SURPRISING SIGNS OF VITAMIN E.
14DUE TO THE FACT THAT SUPPLEMENTS ARE LICENSED AS
PRODUCTS, NOT AS MEDICATIONS, THE FDA DOES NOT
DETERMINE THE CONSISTENCY OF SUPPLEMENTS OR THEIR
EFFECTS ON THE BODY.
15MANUFACTURERS ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PURITY
OF THE DRUG, AND THEY MUST LIST THE INGREDIENTS
AND THEIR QUANTITIES ACCURATELY.
16A FEW INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATIONS CARRY OUT
ADDITIONAL STANDARD CHECKS AND PROVIDE APPROVAL
SEALS. T
17PRODUCTS SOLD NATIONALLY IN THE STORES AND
ONLINE WHERE YOU USUALLY SHOP SHOULD BE FINE,
COATES SAYS.
18DECIDING WHETHER TO TAKE DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS AND
WHICH ONES TO TAKE IS A SERIOUS MATTER, SAYS
COATES. LEARN ABOUT THEIR POTENTIAL BENEFITS AND
ANY RISKS THEY MAY POSE FIRST.
