摘要
Dietary supplements are increasingly used by a large percentage of the population worldwide. The potential impact of these supplements on our health, however, is not fully understood and their regulation is not controlled as tightly as that of drugs. This viewpoint article discusses the safety concerns and regulatory issues that surround the use of dietary supplements in the US.
