U.S. Could Save Billions on Healthcare Costs with Broader Supplement Use
We certainly believe in the appropriate use of supplements; however, realizing potential healthcare savings is not just our opinion but the findings of an economic report released by the CRN Foundation.
CRN is a nonprofit organization managed by the Council for Responsible Nutrition, and they conclude that the U.S. could see billions of dollars in savings by investing more in targeted nutritional interventions.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that more than 75% of the nation’s healthcare spending is for people with chronic conditions – a large amount of which is preventable, yet the U.S. invests less than 3% of total healthcare expenditures on prevention.
The report, “Supplements to Savings: U.S. Health Care Cost Savings from the Targeted Use of Dietary Supplements, 2022-2030,” should be a “wake-up call to American healthcare policy makers,” according to Michael Meirovitz, director of government relations at CRN.
