Supplements aren’t reviewed for safety and effectiveness, but disclaimers about health benefits are required on products.
The Food and Drug Administration is considering a rule change that would cut back on how often dietary supplement warnings must appear on packaging, a move experts say could make them easier to miss.
Unlike prescription drugs, the FDA doesn’t review dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness before they hit the market.
A 1994 federal law requires supplement companies to include a disclaimer when they make health claims like “supports immune health” or “promotes heart health” or better memory. According to the law, next to promises about benefits, the packaging must display in boldface type: “This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”
They’re already basically nonexistent
even some vitamin gummies are unregulated, you dont know how much is each gummy bear, sometimes its too much or too little.
WTF
Snake Oil sales will improve.
Look no further than RFK “anti-vax pro-heroin” Jr. and his band of merry morons like Dr. Oz shilling their supplement brands intent on “curing” anything from COVID to the Measles. This is pure grift, make no mistake.
outside of vitamins, and some nutrients every other supplements is snakesoil, and even harmful. i once was in “chronic lyme community” and they were using supplments based on pseudoscience and treating themselves, yea it was causing alot of side effects, plus the antibiotics they were chugging down.
