Natural Health Product Use in Canada

Abstract: Objective: To quantify patterns of Natural Health Product (NHP) use in Canada. Methods: The Food Habits of Canadians surveyed 1,543 Canadian adults using a 24-hour recall to record dietary supplements. Prevalence of use by user profile was examined. Results: Forty-six percent of women and 33% of men reported taking at least one Natural Health Product with a mean of 2.3 among users. The highest prevalence of supplement use, 57%, occurred among women aged 50-65. Supplement users were older, less likely to smoke … Show more

“…Similarly to the present study, previous studies have estimated the prevalence of NHP use among rheumatology patients as approximately 60%, which is much higher than that of the general population (Alaaeddine, Okais, Ballane, & Baddoura, ; Bruno & Ellis, ; Buchbinder et al, ; Kim & Seo, ; Singh & Levine, ; Tropmann, Johns, & Gray‐Donald, ). We further characterized the proportion of patients taking s‐NHPs, specifically, to be 36%.…”

“…Based on the first inclusion criterion, the United States and Canada were included in the analysis. Overall 19% of the U.S. population and 13% to 16% of the Canadian population have been shown to use botanical products, which is similar to the percentage of the population using botanical products in EU Member States (ranging from 9.6% to 22.7%) (Barnes, Powell‐Griner, McFann, & Nahin, ; Garcia‐Alvarez et al., ; Troppmann, Johns, & Gray‐Donald, ).…”

“…1 A higher estimate of 15% was reported in a telephone survey study evaluating current NHP use in Canada. 2 Large national surveys in the United States have reported similar findings, with NHP use prevalence estimates ranging from 12% to 14%. 3,4 (The use of vitamins or minerals was excluded in all of these studies.)…”
