Not saying that some supplements aren't good. They are regulated by the FDA as a food so the manufacturers do not have to prove their quality, effectiveness or safety.
They do have to prove their effectiveness - They can't make claims without defending them so if you do see a claim without any scientific studies, you can bet the product will be investigated...
