In early January 2016,
FRONTLINE the PBS investigative reporting program had a program on how bad the dietary supplement industry was. Because it is an unregulated multi-billion dollar a year industry, and because of legislation back in 1996, the FDA has no authority to demand quality and effective supplements. This FDA-hands-off issue has lead to the fact that the buyer-beware. No telling what is out there and if it is effective or even safe.
The Canadian study of a couple of years ago revealed that with DNA testing many of the over-the-counter supplements were just not offering what was on the label. The attorney general's office of the state of New York followed up a year later with their own investigation and made some big box and chain supplement stores pull their products off the shelf.
How to solve this problem. Well active patients at our practice are allowed access to high-quality, self-regulated GMP companies that adhere to a much higher standard and have their products independently laboratory tested for quality analysis. One particular distributor requires this of every brand-name they carry. Only caveat here is that access to this distributor is limited to healthcare providers. This makes it impossible for the general public to get direct access.
