Research studies in people to prove a supplement's "safety" are not required before the supplement is marketed, unlike drugs. The manufacturer does not have to prove that the supplement is "effective", unlike for drugs. If the manufacturer does make a claim, it must be followed by the statement "This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease."

The manufacturer does not have to prove supplement "quality".

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.
