Omega-3s, B6, B12 and folic acid big tick
November 15, 2013
The Complementary Healthcare
Council of Australia (CHC)
welcomes the findings of a new US
report, in which the authors found
the use of key dietary supplements,
including omega-3s, B6, B12 and
folic acid, could reduce hospital
costs by $US billions per year.
The Frost & Sullivan report ‘Smart
Prevention – Health Care Cost
Savings Resulting from the Targeted
Use of Dietary Supplements’ covers
eight supplement regimens across
four chronic health conditions:
coronary heart disease (CHD), agerelated
eye disease, diabetes and
osteoporosis.
The CHC is using this data and
the Australian economic report
findings, such as in the 2010
National Institute of Complementary
Medicine’s ‘Cost effectiveness
of complementary medicines,’
to call on the government to
support research into the potential
preventative contribution of
complementary medicines.
