How To Trust Vitamin and Mineral Supplement Brands
Dietary supplements include essential and nonessential micronutrients to support health, often needed due to poor diets or illness. The FDA regulates supplements, not as strictly as drugs, focusing on manufacturing and labeling standards without premarket safety testing. Consumers can learn about supplements through the FDA’s ‘Supplement Your Knowledge’ initiative. It’s important to seek quality brands, with some products undergoing third-party testing for quality assurance. Always consult healthcare providers before using supplements.
