Quality Improvement Project to Assess the Safety of Dietary Supplements Sold on Two United States Army Installations, 2024

Given the significant risk to medical readiness, it behooves the Department of Defense (DoD) to more closely monitor DS sold on installations. As the lead organization for supplement education and mandatory safety training, OPSS should play a central role in reassessing the vetting process of DS sold on military installations. Integrating OPSS into this process would help mitigate the risk of SMs inadvertently consuming prohibited substances.
