Understanding Supplement Labels |
| 1/16/2008 2:25:37 PM |
I have to share a article I read ....The truth is that many vitamins have false label claims which can be confirmed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the FDA as well as many other reliable sources. Companies that don't adhere to the guidelines for labels and are caught are being charged and reprimanded. Although vitamin labels should not be misleading or deceptive. They are. According to CANA, (Certified All Natural Association), many products that are being sold are illegally mislabeled.
