6 Popular Supplements That Don t Actually Work, According to Experts
The supplement industry is like the wild west of food products. With little regulation and barely any oversight by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), supplement companies operate with free reign on the quality, sources, and claims of their products. Paired with their popularity (3 out of every 4 Americans take supplements on a regular basis) and the size of the industry (worth $40 billion), it s no surprise that there s a lot of misinformation about supplements that may lead to consumers investing in products that either don t do what they claim or that may actually be dangerous.
