\u201cDietary Supplements: What a Consumer Needs to Know,\u201d will start at 5:30 p.m. in Room 120 of the Lane Center for Academic Health Sciences and will feature Margaret Harris, assistant professor and sport nutrition coordinator, Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Beth-El College of Nursing and Health Sciences.<\/p>\n

According to Harris, this is a chance\u00a0for individuals to learn how to navigate the world of supplements safely.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a basic class\u00a0introducing people to dietary supplements and maneuvering the supplement aisle safely and effectively,\u201d Harris said. \u201cI’ll clear up some media backlash as to why there is controversy around supplements, and where there is founded and unfounded concern.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the seventh in an ongoing series of community health lectures provided by the UCCS HealthCircle to educate the greater Colorado Springs community on common health issues. Previous lectures dealt with improving nutrition, preventing falls, stress management, ultrasound testing,\u00a0improving the quality of primary care visits and the importance of posture.<\/p>\n

In February 2014, five UCCS clinics joined to become the UCCS HealthCircle. Located in the Lane Center for Academic Health Sciences, the clinics are the UCCS Aging Center, the Peak Nutrition Clinic, the Center for Active Living, a nurse-managed Primary Care Clinic and the Veterans Health and Trauma Clinic.
