Results: At the time of the survey, 43% (n = 548) reported the use of
some form of supplement: females 52% (n = 324) and males 35% (n = 224).
The supplements used most often were vitamin C (26%),
multivitamin/mineral preparations (17%), fish oils (17%), vitamin E
(16%), calcium (+/ vitamin D) (13%), garlic capsules or oil (11%),
vitamin B (single or mixed) (9%), other single vitamins or minerals

consumed regularly (daily or every few days) and for an extended period
(more than three years). Supplement users appeared to rely on their
doctor, newspapers, family or friends and pharmacy staff for
information about supplements. The most commonly cited reasons for
supplement use were to enhance energy levels, improve stamina and
promote feelings of wellness.
