Warning about Supplements

A new study on supplements has revealed that 4 out of 5 supplements sold at stores like Walmart, Target, or GNC contained none of the herb listed on the label. Can you believe that? NONE. 



We already knew that supplements are not as carefully regulated as prescription drugs and are not tested for efficacy by the FDA. 

But most of these supplements contained mainly fillers like rice and houseplants!!

Read full articles describing the study: here and here.

Hopefully this will help improve supplement regulation - but in the meantime, maybe just stay out of the supplement aisle altogether!

Bottom line: don't waste your money, and don't risk your health.
