I do stand corrected, thanks for the info.
Used to work for small pharmaceutical gig that manufactured new drugs for trials and testing. I witnessed the required standards that at times seemed extreme but gave me trust in quality. I have also seen some stuff that would make you avoid generic unless it was absolutely necessary:afraid:
I just assumed that supplements were less regulated, maybe a better thing in some cases

Mollie is correct, to a point. But the FDA's authority was considerably weakened by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, also known as DSHEA. You have Senator Orrin Hatch and the state of Utah, home to a disproportionate share of supplement makers, to thank for this.
Isn't it great when science is controlled by anti-evolutionists and global warming deniers?
Keep this in mind the next time you chug down your favorite miracle Ergogenic Elixir!

I am not really an expert on supplements,but it was my understanding that since DSHEA supplements could not make false claims of efficasy,but they did not have to prove efficasy and only had to prove safety if the safety was called into question,not before marketing.
I know more about generics.Your Pharmacy will say that they can substitute a generic equivalent to your medication.What they don't say is that goverment declared that equivalent is"not less than 80% nor more than 125% as bioavailable as the brand name.That is a very low bar to clear.
