Lost of rain and some flooding

Just read about Durbin’s Dietary Supplement Listing Act of 2024:

Great news (banned punctuation mark)
I refuse to take supplements until they are regulated and I get tired of having to explain DSHEA to people who mostly have no idea what I’m even talking about.
It’s a good start, but doesn’t look like it goes far enough.
Are they going to randomly test the pills to see if they actually contain what the label claims it contains.

Weather has been nice in beautiful DuPage County, but the humidity is really creeping up the last few days. Ugh

Beware of the boneless pills, especially in Ohio.

Tiny Dancer,
Absolutely agree. The complete lack of regulation with supplements means I simply don’t take them. I think there is a USP voluntary program that supplements can go through that will check that potencies and ingredients agree with the label, but I don’t know how good of an indicator that is.
