last update on: 06/09/2026

Help your patients to cut through the hype and online marketing to establish if there is an evidence base for the use of specific supplements. This talk answers all your burning questions about the unregulated supplement industry and explains where nutrition science currently stands when it comes to supplementation.

Participants are expected to watch the video, reflect on its content, and complete the CEU self-assessment and CEU evaluation. Only upon completing this process will a participant's continuing education certificate be generated. The estimated time a learner will need to complete this self-study activity is 45 minutes. 

This activity is approved for continuing education for physicians, nurses, and dietitians. The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 0.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. 

Objectives: 

  • Learn what supplements to recommend to your patients depending on their life stage, medical history, and nutrition goals.
  • Understand what information to look for when helping to advise your patients.
  • Discover what we know when it comes to the usefulness of individual targeted supplements versus more nebulous health claims. 

Requirements for successful completion: Participants will be awarded contact hours commensurate with participation after completion of the post-test with a score of 70% or higher.
