Dietary supplements ARE Secure



Federal Government Study  I usually get riled when I see a report within the media attacking products mainly because some poorly created federal government “study” came to some (pre-planned) conclusion that dietary supplements are poor.
I also get riled when I study that a wellness care provider who uses a formulary generally depending on using plants, claims that you’ll find no studies, when hundreds do exist, in regards to the efficacy of herbs or products.  On the similar time the FDA faces every day the issue of poorly studied pharmaceuticals that kill hundreds of 1000’s of individuals each and every year.
