Ah, the FDA. Their regulatory power is beyond what it needs to be to keep people safe, right? I mean after all we have too much regulation, isnt that what you hear from industries and congress quite often? Here is how the FDA handles dietary supplements: 1. No need for FDA approval before your product is marketed. 2. The manufacturer is responsible for accuracy and truthfulness of product claims. ( lolz ) 3. The manufacturer does not have to prove the safety or effectiveness of the product. How about the requirement to have the contents on the label? Yeah, those dont need to be true either....evidently. A study found that 1/3 of those labels are false. Some products didnt even contain the primary ingredient being advertised. So, a corporate entity whos primary purpose is profit (given todays economic ethic and paradigm) is also expected to self regulate a product that is for the well being of people. Here is a short segment with more details.
