This conference will help spread valuable information to people who take the dietary supplements unnecessarily. Most of the people on dietary supplements do not know about these potential interactions with their diet and the drugs they take on a daily basis. Many times, people complain about constipation which could be due to intake of iron through the dietary supplements.

This is a great opportunity to catch up on CE credits! It is not always easy to find live CE credits that fit into a busy healthcare professional's schedule, so it is nice to see multiple presentations on the same day. With the increasing usage of dietary supplements, it is important to consider their impact on lab tests. These effects are not immediately considered when looking at abnormal lab results, so it is important to gather information on the patient's dietary supplement usage. This conference will not only allow one to earn ever-important CE credits, but also learn about various interactions to consider with dietary supplements.
