The Majority of Americans Take Vitamins!

The American public is health-conscious and mindful of proper nutrition. According to a new poll commissioned by the national publication USA TODAY, two-thirds of American women take vitamin supplements regularly, and 70 percent of respondents recognize that vitamins provide important health benefits. Other recent nationwide surveys have shown that the number of Americans who regularly take some form of nutritional supplements is approaching 180 million, an overwhelming majority of the population. Public health officials expressed hope that the poll results would encourage even those Americans in the minority to begin looking into vitamin supplementation as a key part of a healthy lifestyle.
