Humanity has always been in search of better health, the proverbial fountain of youth, that magic pill will cure all ills and promote health. In order to meet that need, charlatans have sold snake-oil and made false promises for centuries and the practice continues in the dietary supplement industry.
An investigation into the giant retail stores that sell these supplements, specifically four national retailers — Walmart, Walgreen, GNC and Target, was conducted by the New York State Attorney General’s office. What was uncovered was these dietary supplements do not have the listed herbs on their labels and that many of the ingredients are “potential allergens”, which are not listed as ingredients.
A majority of the herbal supplements at these stores, the FDA found, do not contain the herbs they claim to have, but rather they have inexpensive fillers such as soy powder and wheat.

Agree – so why do conservatives want to ban the fda?
FDA banned B17 vitamin you know why?it kills cancer cells but will allow Wendys to put Horse meet in there beef,big Pharm and corporation’s make the rules.
Is this the same FDA that says that cannabis has no medical us? That forces people to only one treatment for cancer, that FDA? Please the lies obumas government says are outrageous.
That’s what’s up tony
More people have died from drugs the FDA has given the ok to pharmaceuticals. The drug over dose of legal drugs in this country are outrageous.
Wow FDA still has shred of credibility!? I checked this brand it’s made in China too hot a different brand instead so I guess I will have to pay alot more to get what’s supposed to be in these supplements thought that price was too good to be true
I would nevver buy vitamins, herbs or supplements at any of those stores. Only health food stores and, of course, Isagenix!
