Seventy-nine percent of adults over the age of 55 take dietary supplements with the goal of improving health. How can health professionals help clients and consumers wade through the sea of supplements and their myriad claims for healthy aging and increased longevity? On Wednesday, June 10, 2020, from 2–3 PM EDT, Dr. Christine Rosenbloom, PhD, RDN, LD, FAND, will deliver a webinar focusing on dietary supplement use in older adults.

Finally, Dr. Rosenbloom will review case studies and provide evidence-based resources that will help expand attendees’ knowledge of proper supplement use. Learning Objectives 1.
