Description:
Nurses and Allied Health Care Professionals are relied on by patients and clients to have accurate information about the uses and effects of these products. But often, these items are marketed as having benefits that are unsubstantiated; do not carry adequate warnings when they interfere with lab tests, and may be misused by the client because they are “natural”. Using evidenced-based research, Barb will present the current clinical findings and safety of the numerous OTC products.

• Is there a reason to take a multivitamin? Or should single vitamins suffice?
