I have heard that the dietary supplement industry is unregulated. Why are there not some controls and assurances of public safety?
I hear some health care professionals say that dietary supplements are dangerous and are not needed if I eat a good diet. Is this true?
Dietary supplements are their own product category separate from foods and drugs. Dietary supplements is the correct term, although nutritional supplements, supplements, vitamins and nutraceuticals are words that have been used to describe dietary supplements. Dietary supplements are products containing nutrients that are able to affect the structure or function of the body. Traditionally, dietary supplements include vitamins, minerals, herbs and other dietary substances.
