United States sales of dietary supplements exceeded $18 billion in 2002, indicating that dietary supplement use is common among the American public. This report describes a survey of academic pharmacists and their use of dietary supplements and herbs. To date, most data comes from retail or community pharmacists, so a survey was developed to collect information regarding dietary supplement and herb usage from academic pharmacists. Academic pharmacists are probably the most knowledgeable group in regards to assessing the clinical value of supplements. Our results showed that 54% of academic pharmacists have used dietary supplements or herbs. However, it is interesting to note that most of the dietary supplements listed were not in the top ten most commonly used supplements. In addition, there was no excessive use of supplements or herbs by this group of pharmacists since the majority of respondents listed multivitamins.
2002年，美国膳食补充剂的销售额超过180亿美元，这表明膳食补充剂在美国公众中使用普遍。本报告描述了一项针对学术药师及其对膳食补充剂和草药使用情况的调查。迄今为止，大多数数据来自零售或社区药师，因此开展了一项调查，以收集有关学术药师使用膳食补充剂和草药的信息。在评估补充剂的临床价值方面，学术药师可能是知识最丰富的群体。我们的结果显示，54%的学术药师使用过膳食补充剂或草药。然而，有趣的是，列出的大多数膳食补充剂并不在十大最常用补充剂之列。此外，这群药师并未过度使用补充剂或草药，因为大多数受访者列出的是多种维生素。
