Answer to Question 1

Commercial supplements are popular because of their convenience and also because patients and caregivers may be familiar with them due to direct-to-consumer marketing.

Patients receiving oral supplements frequently develop taste fatigue a few days after supplements are initiated, and supplement intake then decreases.
