'Taking vitamins' among top five health-and-wellness resolutions

WASHINGTON — Americans are committing to taking vitamins in 2015, according to a new survey conducted online by Harris Poll on behalf of the Council for Responsible Nutrition. 

 

The survey, conducted in December, asked over 2,000 U.S. adults to select (all that apply of) health-and-wellness habits they are committing to in 2015, and “taking vitamins” made the top five (47%), along with: drinking enough water (72%); eating healthy/healthier in general (66%); getting more physically active (62%); and getting more sleep (49%). 

 

“With the hectic nature of our lives, we don’t always eat what we know we should eat. And while we should continue to focus on getting the healthiest diet, adding a simple multivitamin supplement presents an easy, affordable and safe way to help ensure we get the nutrients we need,” said Duffy MacKay, SVP scientific and regulatory affairs, CRN.
