This book was released on 2011 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dietary supplement use in the United States is prevalent and increasing. Few studies have been done investigating dietary supplement use in physically active people. The objective of this study was to compare dietary supplement use and non-use among a group of physically active adults by demographics, physical activity, lifestyle behaviors, body mass index (BMI), and dietary intake. In addition, this study aimed to establish the health benefit beliefs and sources of supplement information of the individuals using dietary supplements. A comparative study was conducted using a 23 question survey. The participants were adults, age 18 and older (n = 133) and were members of two fitness centers in suburbs of Minneapolis, MN. There were no differences in consumption of grains, fruits, vegetables or dairy between dietary supplement users and non-users. Protein consumption was significantly higher among supplement users. A greater number of those with higher income levels used dietary supplements. All age ranges had a significantly higher percentage of dietary supplement users except the 25 to 34 year olds. The primary reasons for using supplements were to improve health and maintain health. The primary sources of information were physician, internet, and health food store. Results of this study will provide information to health professionals regarding dietary supplement use in a physically active population.
