Preferred term

vitamins, minerals, and dietary supplements  

Definition

  • Vitamin, mineral, and non-nutrient dietary supplements are widely used but vary in their safety and efficacy. Issues include the high requirements for calcium and Vitamin D, the need for crystalline Vitamin B12, the possible health benefits of Vitamin E and fish oils, and drug nutrient interactions with Vitamin K. Older people should discuss their need for, and use of, supplements with their physicians rather than self-prescribe.
