It is important to be aware of the problem of unregulated, untested "supplements", which can make fairly outrageous (if not specific) claims. In some cases, these supplements are ineffective, have unwanted side effects, or are dangerous. Always consult your physician.
For more, go to the FDA website. Many supplements making health claims regarding weight loss, fitness, and sexual health are dangerous and have been pulled from the market.

You have to consult your doctor to know what supplements you should take. Thanks for the information.
ReplyDeleteI do take some supplements myself. My concern is that they are not tested by the FDA. That needs to change, especially as supplement use increases. Especially in the area of sports/nutrition/weight loss, I have heard some rather disturbing stories.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering. What supplements do you take? And how do you choose them?
