Herbal or food supplement, mayroon ba kayong alam?

[dr. d]

Paano ba malalaman kung tunay nga na dahon ng plant ung nasa herbal supplement? May FDA No. nakalagay sa box. May testing ba para dito?

from what i understand, a certificate of analysis performed by a third party is required, and several other requirements, if the food additive product is to be registered with the local FDA.
from what i also understand, the local FDA does not usually conduct its own content verification tests.

this is in contrast to the requirements for drugs, where there is a ton of required documentation...

I have stopped taking vitamins and/or supplements for more than 6 months already. Wala naman nagbago sa health ko. Read somewhere na with the regular food in our meals, we really don't need more of the vitamins and minerals that the food provides. Unless may condition tayo that causes our body to be deficient in one or more of the vitamins and minerals. Tinatapon lang ng katawan natin mga sobra, sayang lang pera.

food supplements and vitamins have their role.
but to take them like candy, is something else.

Yes, if you have deficiency in certain vitamins, or is diagnosed to have conditions that require you to take supplements.

Is this available in I-herb? I only buy in I-herb so that I can be sure of the quality.

i had second hand information about one such furriner.
the person would be taking several health supplements, but he never visited a doctor.
he apparently looked healthy enough.

then one day, he got seriously sick, necessitating hospitalization.
that was when his napakaraming sakits, came to get recognized.
