Below are many general statements about nutrition, along with the references from which they were obtained. Many Americans take vitamins regularly, and there is mounting evidence that taking certain vitamins is useful. Most people do not realize the tremendous strides since 1990 which can direct who should be taking what supplements.

It is important to distinguish between specific dosages of specific nutrients when selecting what to consume in a supplement. Each reference is numbered, followed by specific information from that source.
