    Five Questions to Ask When Considering Health Supplements

    Five Questions to Ask When Considering Health Supplements COMMENTS JANUARY 19, 2016 / by KATIE WORTH Tow Journalism Fellow, FRONTLINE/Columbia Journalism School Fellowships Compared to most drugs sold at pharmacies, health supplements are loosely regulated by government agencies. Law prohibits manufacturers from selling products that are adulterated or mislabeled, and they cannot claim to cure things they don’t. But there is little oversight or enforcement to ensure they comply. And unlike prescription drugs, which pass through a strict premarket approval process, the Food and Drug Administration does not evaluate a supplement’s contents or effectiveness before it hits the shelves. Even then, the agency has only a modest capacity to test the pills. The result is a more than $30 billion industry that is largely regulated by the honor system. Given this framework, there is little to guarantee that any vitamin, mineral, probiotic, sports supplement, herbal treatment, or other dietary supplement is safe, effective, or even contains what’s on its label. Last year, for example, an investigation by the New York Attorney General’s office found that several popular store-brand supplements at four major retailers — GNC, Target, Walgreens and Walmart — contained contaminants not listed among the labeled ingredients. Just 21 percent of them actually had the DNA of the plant species they purported to be vending. While there are no guarantees, there are steps consumers can take to improve the chances that their supplements contain what they claim to, in the labeled quantities, and that they may indeed have a health benefit. Here are five questions a consumer may want to ask when considering supplements.

Yet every one of us alive probably owes our existence to this obscure Russian. Why? Well, on 26 September 1983, Petrov was a lieutenant colonel in the Soviet Air Defence Forces. He was serving as the chief officer on duty at Serpukhov-15, a bunker just outside Moscow. This facility was home to OKO, the Soviet missile early warning system – Russia’s eye on its enemy. These were fraught times. The Cold War was at its zenith, and deployment of US nuclear-missile systems across Europe had enraged the Kremlin.

By David Hoffmeister, Maya Skubatch, Charles Andres, David Van Goor and Indrani Dasgupta (March 7, 2018, 1:15 PM EST) On Aug. 18, 2017, dietary supplement ingredient supplier ChromaDex filed a citizen petition requesting that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration “investigate and take appropriate remedial action” against Elysium Health Inc., which markets the dietary supplement Basis. The petition, filed against a backdrop of bicoastal litigation between Elysium and ChromaDex, alleges that samples of Elysium’s Basis dietary supplement contained an industrial solvent, toluene, at 94- 144 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), and also contained lead and molybdenum.[1] The citizen petition and its assertions were surprising and unexpected, especially given Elysium’s history and prominence in the dietary supplement industry. David Hoffmeister Elysium is, by all accounts, a superbly successful dietary supplement manufacturer. Elysium’s website showcases eight Nobel Laureates[2] that sit on Elysium’s scientific advisory board, as well as several science and medical advisers who may one day become Noble Prize winners.[3] Elysium’s dietary supplement, Basis, was featured in a recent Time magazine article.[4] Elysium’s Basis is targeted as: “The one daily supplement your cells need.”[5] Elysium’s advertising hints at the benefits that may come from regularly ingesting Basis: “Basis is clinically proven to increase [nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide] NAD+, levels, which decline with age.

Name of Project Advisor Name of Second Reader PROJECT SECOND READER DATE Running head: PROBIOTICS RESEARCH REPORT Probiotics Research Report Michelle Carroll Valerie Escalante Scott Morgans California State University, San Marcos Author Note This report was prepared to satisfy Nicolas & Tomasevic Law Firms’s request for information surrounding the claims made by Probiotic companies in the United States. PROBIOTICS RESEARCH REPORT 2 Abstract The probiotics industry is a booming industry, expecting to grow an additional 38% by the year 2021. Under the Food and Drug Administration regulations the majority of probiotics are marketed as dietary supplements. This categorization of dietary supplements limits companies in pursuit of claims to the labeling of their products. Probiotic companies market their products for various health reasons, mainly digestive issues. In 2009, The Dannon Company became one of the first manufacturers to endure a class action lawsuit due to its claims being made on their probiotic yogurt packaging. This suit was then followed by other lawsuits filed against other large manufacturers. These types of lawsuits have lent a hand to manufacturers becoming more cautious about their claims and adding precautions to their labels.
