Supplements and the FDA
The FDA doesn’t regulate vitamins or supplements. It means there isn’t as much oversight with supplements and you have to be careful about their origins. You need to understand the manufacturer’s testing and quality control measures, making sure their products are verified by an outside lab. You want to know that the product contains the advertised active ingredients and doesn’t contain impurities. It should meet label requirements, including potency. It’s not required but a good company will do these things, even if it costs more for them to produce and for the consumer to buy.
