Description

INTRODUCTION The use of dietary supplements in the United States is on the rise. A national survey conducted by the Center for Disease Control in 2007 (1) found that 17.7% of American adults had used "natural products" in the previous 12 months as compared to 2.1% in 1990. (2) The most popular products used were fish oil/omega 3/DHA (37.4%), glucosamine (19.9%), and echinacea (19.8%). (1) Herbal and dietary supplements are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, thus raising concerns over potential side effects and drug interactions with conventional medicines. This use of supplements by adults suggested to our cohort that glucosamine and celadrin may affect platelet function.
