title: [Dietary supplement use among adolescents in Germany. Results of EsKiMo].
abstract: In 2006, 20 % of adolescents aged 12-17 years used dietary supplements. Persons with high physical activity levels as well as those with high education levels consumed dietary supplements more often than others. Many supplement users used only one single-nutrient supplement. A similarly large proportion of users consumed one supplement with multiple nutrients. Most often supplements containing vitamin C, magnesium, B-vitamins, vitamin E and calcium were used.
