Meeting Micronutrient Needs 

Description: Despite years of research and messaging, overall adherence to recommended dietary guidelines is low for most Americans. Many US residents have inadequate intakes of vitamins and nutritionally essential minerals, which may place them at increased risk for chronic disease. This course covers the prevalence of micronutrient inadequacies in the US population; highlights specific subgroups of the population who are at increased risk of micronutrient inadequacy or deficiency; and examines the importance of healthy eating, fortified food, and micronutrient supplementation to correct inadequacies. Accredited by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) for 2.5 CPEUs until 9/19/2026.
