Calcium, Folic Acid Could Save Health Care Costs

January 2005

A study released at a House subcommittee hearing on the cost savings and health benefits of selected dietary supplements projected a $15 billion reduction in health care costs over a five-year period from the use of calcium and folic acid. The study found that five selected supplements-omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine and saw palmetto along with calcium and folic acid-could make a significant impact on health care costs while positively affecting consumers' health status. The $15 billion figure only pertains to calcium and folic acid usage. More savings would logically arise from the use of the other three supplements.
