The following may also be beneficial when chosing a
vitamin/herb/supplement. While I am a devotee and proponent of many
types of herbs/supplement/vitamins, I find it always wise and best to be
knowledgabel about the foods or medicines or supplements that we injest.
Not knowing what these forms of therapies or essentials (term in
contradiction) do for us, either may exacerbate our condition or create
uncertainties due to side effects. Just my opinion. In addition we may
be overtaxed in monetary expenses by "willy nilly" chosing vitamins or
supplements that we have heard that is good for one and taking for
ourselves, when we are just not conscioulsy and meticulously informed.
AGain, just my opinion. the following may support my opinion.
God Bless

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Trade Commission told companies
that make popular herbal supplements Tuesday to be more careful in
their ads, minding not only what they expressly tell consumers, but
also what they imply. Following a year of consultation with industry
groups, consumer organizations and government offices, the FTC issued
a comprehensive guide to help companies that make vitamin, mineral
and herbal supplements avoid misleading and sometimes dangerous
claims about their products. Use of supplements that claim to help
people lose weight, improve memory and increase sex drive has
burgeoned in recent years, raising questions about labeling and
advertising. See
