Suboptimal levels of various nutrients, including vitamin D, vitamin B12, calcium, zinc and choline, are concerns for older adults. Underlying causes include low dietary intake, reduced intestinal absorption and a decline in metabolic enzyme function. While strategic food selection can bridge most nutrient gaps, supplementation may be warranted in select circumstances. Attendees will learn when and how to utilize dietary supplements to meet the micronutrient needs of adults 60 and older.
