I really don't understand the experimental/not approved line if the same people also take vitamins.
I know darn well people not thoroughly researching Mane Choice Hair Skin and Nail vitamins, Mielle's growth drops or a new Etsy shop's rice water serum before ingesting or applying to their scalps.
Companies started stuffing elderberry and zinc together real quick this past year. They like Oprah. You get an immunity vitamin. You get an immunity vitamin. You get an immunity vitamin.
From the FDA website:
Who is responsible for the safety of dietary supplements?
FDA is not authorized to review dietary supplement products for safety and effectiveness before they are marketed.The manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements are responsible for making sure their products are safe BEFORE they go to market.
If the dietary supplement contains a NEW ingredient, manufacturers must notify FDA about that ingredient prior to marketing. However, the notification will only be reviewed by FDA (not approved) and only for safety, not effectiveness.
Manufacturers are required to produce dietary supplements in a quality manner and ensure that they do not contain contaminants or impurities, and are accurately labeled according to current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) and labeling regulations.
If a serious problem associated with a dietary supplement occurs, manufacturers must report it to FDA as an adverse event. FDA can take dietary supplements off the market if they are found to be unsafe or if the claims on the products are false and misleading.
