Dietary Supplements Reduce
Health Care Costs
This should be front page news!
Significant cost savings can be realized by
health care payers, such as insurance compa-
nies and consumers, through the use of
dietary supplements that have a demonstra-
ble and substantial effect on the risk of costly
disease-related events among targeted high-
risk populations, according to a report from
Frost & Sullivan..
Why isn’t this front page news? Why is this
not part of the health care reform discussion?
The problem
According to the report, approximately
75% of total U.S. health care expenditures
are spent on preventable diseases, but only
3% of total health care expenditures are
invested in disease prevention programs.
A common question among policymakers,
public health experts, and consumers is
whether health care treatment costs can be
avoided if more preventive measures are
adopted.
A significant amount of scientific research
has been conducted examining dietary sup-
plements, and many studies demonstrate that
these supplements have a positive effect on
reducing the risk of a disease event.
What was missing was an objective and
systematic assessment of the current state of
scientific findings regarding the link between
the use of dietary supplements and the
reduction in the risk of a disease that
requires costly treatment services.
Frost & Sullivan examined the potential
health care cost savings if people over the
age of 55 at risk of those diseases use certain
dietary supplements that have been shown to
lower those disease risks.
What did they find?
The report demonstrates that significant
cost savings can be realized by health care
payers, such as insurance companies and
consumers, through the use of dietary sup-
plements that have a demonstrable and sub-
stantial effect on the risk of costly disease-
related events among targeted high-risk pop-
ulations. Specifically, the report examines evi-
dence showing that the use of key dietary
supplements can reduce overall hospital uti-
lization costs associated with heart disease,
age-related eye disease, diabetes, and bone
disease in the United States among those at a
high risk of experiencing a costly, disease-
related event. Thus, targeted dietary supple-
mentation regimens are recommended as a
means to help control rising societal health
care costs, and as a means for high- risk indi-
viduals to minimize the chance of having to
deal with potentially costly events and to
invest in increased quality of life.
Some Of The Findings Include:
•
Omega-3:
Nearly $4 billion in cumula-
tive net CHD-attributed cost savings from
2013to 2020 is potentially realizable if the
entiretarget population (U.S. adults over the
age of55 diagnosed with CHD) were to use
omega-3dietary supplements at preventive
intake levels.
•
B Vitamins:
A cumulative 808,225
CHD-related medical events from 2013 to
2020 couldbe avoided if all U.S. adults over
the age of 55diagnosed with CHD were to
use the B vitaminsfolic acid, B6, and B12 at
preventive intake levels.
•
Phytosterols:
An average of $4.23 bil-
lionper year in avoidable hospital utilization
costsis potentially realizable if all U.S. adults
overthe age of 55 diagnosed with CHD were
to usephytosterol dietary supplements at pre-
ventive intake levels.
•
Psyllium Dietary Fiber:
An average
annual total savings of $4.38 billion per year
from 2013to 2020 is potentially realizable if
all U.S. adults over the age of 55 diagnosed
with CHD were touse preventive intake lev-
els of psyllium fiber.
•
Chromium Picolinate:
A cumulative
649,944 events from 2013 to 2020 could
potentially be avoided if all U.S. diabetics
over the age of 55 diagnosed with CHD
were to use chromium picolinate dietary sup-
plements at preventive intake levels.
•
Lutein and Zeaxanthin:
An average of
$3.87 billion per year in avoidable health
care utilization costs is potentially realizable if
all U.S. adults over the age of 55 diagnosed
with ARED were to use lutein and zeaxanthin
dietary supplements at preventive intake lev-
els.
• Calcium and Vitamin D: Over $12 billion
in cumulative net osteoporosis-attributed cost
savings is potentially realizable if the entire
target population (U.S. women over the age
of 55 diagnosed with osteoporosis) were to
use calcium and vitamin D dietary supple-
ments at preventive intake levels.
•
Magnesium:
A cumulative savings of
$6.8 billion from 2013 to 2020 in avoidable
hospital utilization costs is potentially realiz-
able if all U.S. women over the age of 55
diagnosed with osteoporosis were to use
magnesium dietary supplements at preven-
tive intake levels.
How did they reach these
conclusions?
Frost & Sullivan conducted a systematic lit-
erature review of scientific studies that inves-
tigated a causal relationship between dietary
supplement intake and the incidence of spe-
cific health conditions of interest. Case stud-
ies, observational epidemiologic studies, and
clinical trials adhering to best practice scien-
tific methodologies were included, independ-
ent of whether the findings were positive,
negative, or null. Once the database of possi-
ble studies was created, each study was thor-
oughly reviewed and assessed to determine
whether there was a quantifiable relationship
between supplement intake and the inci-
dence of a specific chronic disease event,
either directly or indirectly through a speci-
fied and validated biomarker. From those
studies, one of two approaches was used to
calculate a relative risk reduction metric and
the number of persons needed to treat to
achieve one avoided medical event in order
to determine the overall impact of the
dietary supplement intervention on a disease
