Background Americans are urged to meet nutrient needs through nutrient-dense food sources, while not exceeding energy needs.
However, the reality is that many individuals consume diets that are lower in one or more nutrients and higher in energy than recommended.
TM
Research Purpose
To determine total usual nutrient intakes of Americans from all sources, as well as to understand the specific nutrient contributions from:
– Enriched and fortified foods – Dietary supplements
TM
General Methodology • NHANES 03-04 and 05-06 data were used for
dietary intake • NCI method was used to estimate usual intakes • USDA FNDDS 2.0 and 3.0 and standard release
18 and 20 were used for 03-04 and 05-06 food composition data, respectively*
• A database was created to separate the amount of intrinsic and added nutrients found in each food
TM
• Nutrient intake from supplements was determined from the NHANES dietary supplement questionnaire
• Nutrient composition of supplements were determined using the NCHS dietary supplement database
• 19 micronutrients were examined

Study One: Conclusions • Major sources of most water soluble vitamins
were enrichment/fortification and/or supplements
• Major sources of most minerals (except for iron) were intrinsic to foods
• Fortification/enrichment plays an important role in increasing the % of population >EAR for vitamins A, thiamin, folate, and iron
TM
• Supplements increase the % of the population meeting the EAR – especially for nutrients that are not
prevalent in foods (vitamins D and E)
• Supplements also increase the % > UL
Study One: Conclusions
TM
Study One: Take home • Most Americans met recommended
nutrient target for the majority (but not all) of vitamins and minerals evaluated
• However….. – far fewer individuals would have done so
without intakes of enriched and fortified foods
– and even fewer if dietary supplements are excluded

TM
To assess the vitamin and mineral intakes of adults from the diet by supplement-use categories, and how these supplements contributed to meeting or exceeding DRIs for selected micronutrients.
Purpose (both studies combined)
TM
Users versus Non-users Defined
• Users: those who reported taking at least one dietary supplement within the previous 30 days
• Diet: food sources only • Total intakes: diet + supplements
• Non-users: no supplement use • Diet: food sources only
TM
Intakes from Foods Sources Only
• Males – users had higher intakes than non-users • Folate • Vitamin A • Vitamin E • Vitamin K
• Females – users had higher intakes than non-users • Folate • Vitamin A • Vitamin C • Vitamin D • Vitamin E
• Magnesium • Potassium • Copper • Selenium
• Calcium • Iron • Magnesium • Zinc • Phosphorus • Copper • Potassium

% of adult of dietary supplement users who exceed the UL by gender
TM
• Adults who use dietary supplements tend to have higher mineral and vitamin intakes from foods than non-users
• Supplements help users meet the EAR for all micronutrients (except potassium)
• This is especially true for nutrients that are not prevalent in foods (e.g. vitamin D, vitamin E)
• Non-users had significantly higher prevalence of intakes below the EAR
• Supplement use also creates the potential for intakes above the UL for some nutrients (folic acid, vitamins A, B-6 and C and calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium)
Studies Two and Three: Conclusions
TM
• More than half of adults use dietary supplements in the U.S.
• Dietary habits of supplement users and non-users are different
• Supplement use is associated with a greater percentage of individuals exceeding the UL for some nutrients

• No differences in the vitamin or mineral intakes from food sources between users and non-users
• Different than adults • Higher % of users meet the EAR, particularly for vitamin
D and E • Similar to adults
• Users have higher prevalence of intakes > UL • Both children and adult users have excessive

Summary of Supplement Use: Children’s Data
Studies Four: Conclusions
TM
• Food Sources Paper • What foods are providing micronutrients?
• Examining the Nutrition Facts Panel
Scenarios • How may changes in DV change nutrient
intakes?
Next Steps
TM
Federal Register 11/2/07
If the basis for calculating %DV changes would some products or categories be reformulated or re-labeled in order to make a claim? Do you have any information suggesting that changes in nutrient intakes and consumption behavior will result from newly reformulated or newly labeled products to make these claims?
