Young adults who are educated about dietary supplements are more likely to use appropriately, according to new research from Binghamton University, State University at New York.
Binghamton researchers conducted an anonymous online survey of college students in the Health and Wellness Studies minor at Binghamton University with those not enrolled in the minor. The survey included questions on the perception of dietary supplements, use and knowledge. The survey's main purpose was to investigate whether or not it is an education. Young adults are a target for certain dietary supplements through multiple social media platforms, and they are more likely to be influenced by such advertisements. Many studies on dietary supplementation were suggested, but no follow-up studies were performed.
Analyzing the data, the researchers, the students, the students, the students, the students, the students, and the students. This is significant, as misuse of dietary supplements and kidney injuries.
"These findings suggest that college education on dietary supplements," said Lina Begdache, assistant professor of health and wellness studies at Binghamton University.
"Are these supplements really doing the work?" Begdache said. "There's no FDA oversight." Anything could be in these supplements, things that could potentially be harmful.
The researchers are currently looking at over-the-counter weight loss pills. The interest is that these supplements are high in caffeine, which can increase stress in young adults.
