CONCLUSION
qTaking vitamin and mineral supplements
may be desirable because although
awareness is growing, many people still
do not eat adequately balanced meals on
a consistent basis.

qThe DSEA (Dietary Supplement

Education Alliance) found in a study that
seniors live longer and more independent
lives when taking supplements.
CONCLUSION
qDietary supplements are regulated
differently from other foods or drugs.

qMost often, classification as a dietary

supplement is determined by the
information that the manufacturer
provides on the product label or in
accompanying literature.
CONCLUSION
qScientists use several approaches
to evaluate dietary supplements for
their potential health benefits and
safety risks.

qProper nutrients through diet and

vitamin supplements help to build a
strong immunity system and thus
less illness.

RECOMMENDATION
qWhy shouldn’t everyone take a
multivitamin-mineral supplement to
make sure to cover all their needs?

qSupplement taking is very risky, and

the risks deserve time equal to the
time given to the benefits.

qHigh doses of most nutrients are

dangerous.
RECOMMENDATION
qPeople should expect enormous bias
against anything that would take away
from pharmaceutical profits.

qConsult a doctor or a dietitian about

which supplements and what doses
might be appropriate.

qAsk about possible side effects and

interactions with other medications.
RECOMMENDATION
qIn most cases the other ingredients
in the supplement must also be
evaluated to determine if the product
is safe.

qProvide the physician with a list of

the entire ingredients on the label and
any information that can be found
about the supplement such as
advertisements or brochures.
