Panjwani AA, Cowan AE, Jun S, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to describe dietary supplement usage among U.S. children, including product type, motivations, user characteristics, and trends over time with a primary focus on non-vitamin/non-mineral dietary supplements (NVNM). Overall DS and VM use among all children remained relatively stable at ∼30% between 1999 and 2016, however, NVNM use grew from 2.9% to 6.4%, largely due to increased use of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. While the prevalence of any use of DS and VM among U.S. children remained constant, the prevalence of use of NVNM increased significantly over time. However, the overall use of NVNM remains relatively low. NVNM use showed different patterns by gender, age, and motivations when compared with VM use. Despite the growing use of NVNM, there is a lack of high-quality evidence to support their use, particularly in children.
