Abstract
he article assesses nutritional status and evaluates contribution of supplement use to overall nutrient adequacy in a sample of healthy University of Connecticut students. Data in the U.S. revealed that place of residence, weight concerns and skipping meals are factors contributing to inadequate nutrient intakes. Results showed that men and women were consuming intakes below adequacy for most nutrients, and supplement usage increased nutrient intake and adequacy levels in young adults.
