Dietary Supplement Regulations

Dietary supplement regulations are laws that govern the safety and labeling of products like vitamins and herbal remedies. In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees these supplements, but they are not as strictly regulated as medications. Companies must ensure their products are safe and properly labeled, but they don't need FDA approval before selling them. If a supplement is found to be unsafe or misleading, the FDA can intervene. Consumers should be wary, as this means not all supplements are tested for effectiveness or safety before reaching the market.
