Drew, Steven, Jen, and Lina are college friends who are shopping at the local discount store. As they walk through the pharmacy department, they notice an automated blood pressure machine that can be used for free. For fun, they all decide to check their blood pressure. Drew's reading is 122/88 mm Hg, Steven's reading is 138/89 mm Hg, Jen's reading is 110/70 mm Hg, and Lina's reading is 100/60 mm Hg.
While in the pharmacy section, they also look through the vast array of supplements. Jen is of Asian descent and has a family history of osteoporosis. She is a smoker and has a small skeletal framework. She needs calcium supplements but is not sure what would be an appropriate supplement to prevent osteoporosis.
In the past, Lina was diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia; she is currently not taking any dietary supplements. She needs iron supplements but is confused about what to buy. Drew and Steven decide to purchase a large bottle of multivitamins to share. Neither Drew nor Steven consumes vegetables or fruits regularly. Hence, taking multivitamin supplements would be good for their health and reduce their risk of hypertension and stroke.
While at the discount store, the four friends also notice a lot of food products with the claim "reduced sodium." This label means the product _____.
A) contains 75% less sodium than the customary amount
B) contains less than 5 mg of sodium per serving
C) contains 140 mg or less of sodium per serving
D) contains at least 25% less sodium than the customary amount
