[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 528, member: 1"] [B]Hundreds of Dietary Supplements Are Tainted with Prescription Drugs - Scientific American[/B] [I]Less than half of the products were recalled, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration analysis found [/I] Dietary supplements aren’t regulated like pharmaceutical drugs, so that means they shouldn’t contain pharmaceutical drugs. Yet over the last decade, more than 750 supplement brands have been found to be [URL='https://www.livescience.com/52353-supplements-unapproved-drugs-vinpocetine-picamilon.html']tainted with drugs[/URL]—sometimes containing two or more hidden drug ingredients, a new study finds. What’s more, although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified these tainted supplements, less than half of these products were recalled. That means that these products—which are essentially “unapproved drugs”—remain on the market, where they have the potential to cause serious health problems, the researchers, from the California Department of Public Health, wrote in the study, published today (Oct. 12) in the journal [URL='http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2018.3337']JAMA Network Open[/URL].
