Dietary supplement use is common among military service members; approximately 17 to 20% report using high-risk weight-loss, performance-enhancing, and bodybuilding supplements. To date, no overarching policy or program has been approved or implemented to inform service members or educate health care providers on the potential adverse consequences of using multiple combinations of supplements or the pros and cons of supplements per se. A review of regulations, concerns, and possible solutions is provided. Importantly, the role of third-party certification and education is emphasized.
膳食补充剂的使用在军人中很常见；约17%至20%的军人报告使用高风险的减肥、增强体能和健身补充剂。迄今为止，尚未批准或实施全面的政策或计划，以告知军人或教育医疗保健提供者关于使用多种补充剂组合的潜在不良后果或补充剂本身的利弊。本文对相关规定、问题及可能的解决方案进行了综述。重要的是，强调了第三方认证和教育的作用。
