It is all on the government site.

It's a personal choice if people want to take them or anything else. I'm not bashing supplements, just providing a government site for information on them. It is interesting.

I never disputed the safety or quality part, but in terms of effectiveness, companies cannot make unsubstantiated claims without proof. It says so within the U.S. Dietary act of 1994.. I could pull it up for you if you like.
