You have seen it so many times on a health supplement label and you may not even consider it anymore. One of the secrets of the supplement world is that they are loosely regulated, and if the language is correct, can make misleading claims. As long as the product “aids” or “supports” a specific function, they can be sold without much trouble. The problem is, some studies have shown that the levels of certain vitamins that claim to be in the product vary. Not only do they vary, the very efficacy of a vitamin or mineral is often questionable. They can have benefits for those who lack the vitamin in question, or have a medical necessity, but it is very important for consumers to really know what they are getting and the trustworthiness of the brand.
