  • Regulations around these supplements are often weak and focus more on encouraging sales than protecting public health, leading to issues like contamination, incorrect ingredient levels, and dangerous interactions.
  • While supplements can be helpful in specific cases like pregnancy, generally they are unnecessary and can pose health risks, highlighting the need for better regulation and oversight.]

@Alter_Pinguin @tanezbratanov https://t.co/DwrsS39dRK Supplements may directly cause toxic reactions or may interact with other supplements or pharmaceuticals. Some supplements are found to have been contaminated with heavy metals, and others do not contain the expected quantities of active ingredients.

@AnnaOnTheRock Статья на эту тему из журнала с неплохим импакт фактором. https://t.co/F6uVAACNfB В одной из ссылок есть статья, где обращают внимание на отсутствие постоянного независимого контроля бадов в отличие от лекарств. Поэтому от партии к партии можно легко получить кота в мешке.
