Many Sailors and Marines take dietary supplements in an effort to stay healthy and/or improve performance. However, research has only confirmed the health benefits of some dietary supplements. With the variety of dietary supplements available and so many claims made about their health benefits, it is difficult to know whether a supplement is safe or useful.
