e special care to meet calcium needs because, according

to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, women are four times more

likely than men to develop the disease. If your diet does not provide

enough calcium, a dietary supplement can help you get back on track.

-- Food sources of calcium include milk, cheese and yogurt. Aim for food

that includes at least a 10 percent daily value (DV) of calcium. This

information can be found on the food label.

-- If your diet contains too many low-nutrient foods, such as sugar-

sweetened sodas and potato chips, consider taking an iron supplement.

People prone to iron deficiency include pregnant women and teenage

girls.

-- Low iron intake can limit oxygen delivery to cells, resulting in

fatigue and decreased immune function. A balanced diet that includes

foods such as meats, poultry, fish and beans, should provide enough

iron. If iron levels are not otherwise met, an iron supplement may

help restore your health.

Popular Dietary Supplements

-- Among the most popular natural products in complementary and

alternative medicine is echinacea, an herbal supplement used to boost

the immune system. Studies indicate, however, that echinacea does not

help prevent or treat colds and the flu, as is commonly believed.

-- St. John's wort is also one of the most commonly used herbal

supplements. According to a study by the National Center for

Complementary and Alternative Medicine, this plant extract has minimal

health benefits in treating major depression. St. John's wort may,

however, help treat milder forms of depression.

-- Omega-3 supplements can help promote overall health. Evidence most

strongly supports fish-oil supplements as a treatment for improvements

in the effects of cardiovascular disease.
