Micronutrient supplementation among adults following restrictive diets in Riyadh: a cross-sectional study
Micronutrient supplementation is highly prevalent among individuals following restrictive diets in Riyadh, with specific regimens such as gluten-free, ketogenic, and low-carbohydrate diets showing greater dependence on supplements. Moreover, the increased likelihood of supplement use among individuals adhering to certain diets for longer durations highlights the significance of monitoring nutritional adequacy over time. These findings underscore the need for targeted dietary counselling and public health strategies that promote balanced nutrition according to popular diet trends.
