BEWARE!
Just because a supplement is on the market does not mean it is safe! There is NO premarket approval system for dietary supplements. Even though laws are in place to help regulate dietary supplements, supplements can hit the market without any ounce of scientific evidence or testing to back up claims.
The FDA is not able to regulate a supplement until an adverse event and harm to an individual has already occurred. This can lead to manufacturers skipping steps in the product development process, adding random ingredients, creating contaminated products, and ultimately creating products that are different than what the label states.
Bottom line…
DON’T BE NAIVE – not all supplements are created equal – supplements can be risky!
The following page showcases adverse events that have to the potential to occur from consuming unregulated supplements.
