· You will include subheadings in your paper. The following components should be included:

· Introduction – background information, chemistry of supplement, vitamin, etc., legal status, regulation, claim, dosing, etc.

· Current Research – research at least 3 primary source papers (as we discussed in class from Chapter 2) that relate to the claim. The papers must be current (2012 – present) and be from a reputable scientific journal. Give a brief overview of the 3 papers and include how the research was done and the results.

· Conclusion – Based on your research, write a conclusion that includes the evidence to the claim. Include future considerations and questions that are still not clear.

· Works Cited – use APA style to cite references. Must have a minimum of 5 sources. Alphabetize by author’s last name. (I will cover shortcuts to this in class) Example:

Reginster, J. Y. (2016). Efficacy and safety of glucosamine sulfate in the management of osteoarthritis: Evidence from real-life setting trials and surveys. Osteoporosis International, 27(supplement 1), 65.

· The paper must be submitted on Canvas by 7:00pm on Thursday, November 22, 2020.
