Multivitamin Trends

Use of vitamin D was up in 2010 at 56.2 percent of those surveyed, up from 47.9 percent in 2009 and 36.9 percent in 2008–a 52 percent increase over the two-year period.

Fish oil continued its rise in popularity, used by 75 percent of those surveyed, up from 74 percent in 2009. Meanwhile, multivitamin use declined to 70.1 percent last year from 72.0 percent in 2009 and 73.8 percent in 2008.

Calcium was the fourth most popular supplement, used by 55.3 percent of respondents, up from 51.2 percent last year, and use of CoQ10, the fifth most popular supplement, fell in use from 55 percent to 53 percent of respondents.

The survey found women were more likely than men to have taken vitamin D, calcium or probiotics. Men were more likely than women to have taken CoQ10, herbs and extracts, glucosamine/chondroitin, vitamin E, resveratrol, amino acids, nutrition drinks and powders.
