Nutrient Shortfalls

Who needs dietary supplements?

It is well established that Americans are falling short of key nutrients, including calcium, potassium, dietary fiber, and vitamin D among the general population—and others in specific groups, such as older people and those on special diets. Dietary supplements, like the multivitamin/mineral, provide shortfall nutrients and have been shown to help fill nutrient gaps.

Investing in wellness through supplementation can save billions in disease prevention. The CRN Foundation has again commissioned Frost & Sullivan for an analysis of the potential health care cost savings that could be realized if certain at-risk individuals were to use certain dietary supplements that have been shown to lower disease event risk.
