PY - 2013 DA - 2013/07/30 TI - Dietary supplement users vary in attitudes and sources of dietary supplement information in East and West geographic regions: a cross-sectional study JO - BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine SP - 200 VL - 13 IS - 1 AB - Over 50% of adults currently use dietary supplements (DS) but manufacturers do not have to prove the safety or efficacy of a DS before it is marketed. Therefore, consumers may be exposed to inaccurate DS information, may lack confidence in choosing appropriate DS and may seek advice for usage. The objective of this study was to examine trends in usage, attitudes, and sources of information regarding DS according to geographic location, demographic group, and lifestyle choices.
