There are hundreds of bottles of nutritional supplements on
store shelves these days. But how do you know if they are good or not. Forbes Living TV shares information on some of the nutritional supplements sold today.
Most of the supplements sold in stores and drug stores claim
to prevent illness, boost metabolism, improve energy and even make skin look
better. A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical
Association, (JAMA), found that some supplements have been recalled by the FDA
for containing banned substances such as steroids or strong medications such as
Prozac. More than half of the recalled products were back on store shelves
within six months because there is very little regulation by the FDA for
nutritional supplements.
By year end, Americans could spend $32 billion on vitamins
and dietary supplements. Forbes Living TV shares information to make choosing
them easier and safer:
Do not buy any supplements for weight loss, exercise or
sexual enhancement. These are most likely to contain banned ingredients.
Shop at name brand stores, drugs stores and vitamin stores
because they are quicker to act on recalled items and they offer the safest
brands.
Keep in mind that you get what you pay for. If you buy a
cheap herbal supplement, you will probably not get its full benefits. Better quality
is found in established products.
Look for the USP label on the bottle as this means that the
pill has been verified to have the ingredients in it and in the correct amount.
Do your homework on reputable websites for more information.
