Not Just Facebook...
Frontline Investigation... Compared to most drugs sold at pharmacies, health supplements are loosely regulated by government agencies. Law prohibits manufacturers from selling products that are adulterated or mislabeled, and they cannot claim to cure things they don’t. But there is little oversight or enforcement to ensure they comply. And unlike prescription drugs, which pass through a strict premarket approval process, the Food and Drug Administration does not evaluate a supplement’s contents or effectiveness before it hits the shelves.
Frontline Investigation... Even then, the agency has only a modest capacity to test the pills. The result is a more than $30 billion industry that is largely regulated by the honor system. Given this framework, there is little to guarantee that any vitamin, mineral, probiotic, sports supplement, herbal treatment, or other dietary supplement is safe, effective, or even contains what’s on its label.
Frontline Investigation... Last year, for example, an investigation by the New York Attorney General’s office found that several popular store-brand supplements at four major retailers — GNC, Target, Walgreens and Walmart — contained contaminants not listed among the labeled ingredients. Just 21 percent of them actually had the DNA of the plant species they purported to be vending.
Frontline Investigation... Link While there are no guarantees, there are steps consumers can take to improve the chances that their supplements contain what they claim to, in the labeled quantities, and that they may indeed have a health benefit. 1. Has the product triggered any health warnings or sanctions? 2. Has the product been tested by independent labs? 3. Is the product too good to be true? 4. Is there evidence that the supplement does what it promises? 5. Do I really need supplements? If so, am I taking the right amount?
