The majority of physicians (79%) recommend supplements to their patients, according to the “Life…supplemented” Healthcare Professionals Impact Study, which surveyed 1177 physicians. The top five health reasons physicians recommend supplements to their patients are: for bone health (33%), overall health and wellness (32%), joint health (29%), heart health (26%) and to maintain healthy cholesterol (22%). Additionally, 72% of physicians say they use dietary supplements themselves. The top supplements include a multivitamin (87%), vitamin C (78%), B vitamins (63%), vitamin D (59%), vitamin E (58%) and calcium (58%). This study was part of the “Life… supplemented” consumer wellness campaign, which is dedicated to driving awareness about mainstream use of dietary supplements as part of a proactive personal wellness regimen that combines healthy diet, supplements and exercise. The campaign is managed by the Washington, D.C.-based Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN).
