Are Your Supplements Safe?
Are Your Supplements Safe?
Over half of American adults use dietary supplements. In a fast-paced society where supplementation becomes essential to maintain good health, many people have realized the benefits that come from supplements that would otherwise be lost due poor diets. However, these questions remain: Are all supplements created equal? Do all of them really do good for our bodies? How can we be sure we are getting the best available supplements?
In the past four years one in two inspections by the FDA have turned up significant manufacturing practice violations for supplements. This startling statistic just so happens to be the highest rate of any FDA regulated industry for non-compliance.
In 2012 there were more than 80 products labeled as supplements to promote energy and muscle gain that were found to contain dangerous ingredients including steroids, stimulants and hormones. All tested products were easily obtained from online and retail stores.
Perhaps the most frightening aspect of this study is that such ingredients were not even listed on the product label. You can view the article here, or check out the infographic by clicking here.
