It seems the drug companies and various other agencies often try to stop the production of natural health foods. Often "myths" are quoted. Below are a few facts that may not be known to consumers.

Myth 1. Dietary Supplements Are Unregulated

• The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) gave the U.S. Food and Drug administration the power to ensure dietary supplements are safe, properly labeled and that the claims they make are substantiated.

• In addition, supplements are also regulated in each of the 50 states. Virtually all facets of supplements manufacturing, labeling and marketing are covered by extensive regulations issued and enforced by the FDA and the FTC.

Myth 2. Dietary Supplements Are Unsafe and Dangerous

• The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and DSHEA can remove any dietary supplement from the market immediately if it believes it presents a public health hazard.

• According to the reports from the poison control centers throughout the US, adverse reactions to drugs are more than 800 percent higher than those of dietary supplements.

• Not only are supplements safe, but they work.

Myth 3. Dietary Supplements Do Not Work

It has been established that supplements and vitamins treat the hardest to treat, chronic and debilitating conditions, including arthritis, osteoporosis, allergy and immunity, insulin resistance, diabetes cognition, certain cardiovascular problems and more.

• Potassium citrate supplements could boost bone mineral density.

• Folic Acid reduces the risks of heart attack/stroke and Alzheimer's Disease.

• Omega3 fatty acids can help alleviate inflammation of the large intestine associated with    Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

• Supplements and diet rather than sunlight, should be your source of vitamin D.

• Vitamin C pretreatment can reduce muscle soreness.

Supplements are not a waste of money; Doctors want you to get your supplementation from eating a balanced diet.

The truth is nobody eats a balanced diet these days: we often do not even know what is in the food we eating: additives, pesticides, heavy metals, etc. The reality is no one eats the 5 to 7 servings of fruits and vegetables in one day and we do not get the nutrients we need from our diet.

The truth be known 72 percent of physicians personally use vitamin, mineral, herbal or other supplements and 79 percent recommend to their patients to do the same.
