Registered Dietitians Value Dietary Supplements, Study Says
The 'Life"supplemented' campaign just released results from its 2009 Healthcare Professionals Impact Study, finding that dietary supplements have a considerable impact on healthcare professionals and their relationships with clients. The survey, conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs (Chicago), found that eight out of every ten registered dietitians (RDs) 'view dietary supplements as important for maintaining health.' Eighty-one percent of those surveyed believe that most people can fill gaps in their nutrition with vitamin and dietary supplement use.
