Around half of all Americans take one or more
dietary supplements regularly or occasionally.

and typically come in a type of pill, powder, or
liquid.

PEOPLE ARE TAKING THESE SUPPLEMENTS TO ENSURE
THEY ARE GETTING ENOUGH VITAL NUTRIENTS AND
PRESERVE OR ENHANCE THEIR HEALTH

SOME SUPPLEMENTS MAY HAVE SIDE EFFECTS,
PARTICULARLY IF TAKEN WITH OTHER MEDICINES OR
BEFORE SURGERY. IF YOU HAVE OTHER HEALTH ISSUES,
SUPPLEMENTS CAN ALSO CAUSE PROBLEMS

DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS ARE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED
STATES. THE REGULATION OF FOODS AND MEDICATIONS
(FDA) AS PRODUCTS, NOT AS MEDICINES.

DUE TO THE FACT THAT SUPPLEMENTS ARE LICENSED AS
PRODUCTS, NOT AS MEDICATIONS, THE FDA DOES NOT
DETERMINE THE CONSISTENCY OF SUPPLEMENTS OR THEIR
EFFECTS ON THE BODY.
15
MANUFACTURERS ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PURITY
OF THE DRUG, AND THEY MUST LIST THE INGREDIENTS
AND THEIR QUANTITIES ACCURATELY.

A FEW INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATIONS CARRY OUT
ADDITIONAL STANDARD CHECKS AND PROVIDE APPROVAL
SEALS. T
