Suppliments are unregulated...
This is a completely false statement, one that's being perpetuated both by the media and government. There is an entire section of the CRF (Code of Federal Regulation) that was written specifically for dietary supplements.
The problem is, the FDA has too little money, manpower, or authority to do anything about the shady, fly-by-night places that are making some of the supplements out there. There are plenty of companies that are following the rules the government has put in place, and care about customers, following the law, and generally doing things right. You just never hear about them, because they're not getting in trouble. Because they're doing things by the book.
