According to a NCHS Data Brief (study) completed in April 2011, over 40% of Americans take some form of nutritional supplements. I believe that this number is conservative and even higher today.
The NCHS also reported that almost half of Americans took at least one prescription drug in the last month. Nearly one third are taking two or more drugs and a little over 10 percent are taking five or more drugs. Read the report here. That slope of going from one to two to five drugs is called prescription cascade.
According to Wikipedia, “prescription cascade refers to the process whereby the side effects of drugs are misdiagnosed as symptoms of another problem resulting in further prescriptions and further side effects and unanticipated drug interactions.”

If approximately 40% of Americans take supplements and almost half are on prescriptions, there is a good chance that many are taking both. Most don’t realize the effects of supplements and prescriptions. For some, they could be causing their drugs not to work and for others it could be even worse, by increasing the chances of poor drug interaction with the body, which causes negative side effects.
