美国保健品大量假货!不用经FDA批成分检验不需经认证的实验室检测!

美国,保健品不是药,不用经过FDA批准才上市的,FDA不管这些营养补充剂,只干涉它们不可宣称有治病功效.所以要买supplements,买USP Verified标志的. 所谓的成分含量检验,也不需要在指定的经过认证的实验室做,所以结果,就凭制造商的良心!能不吃就不吃,尽量均衡饮食。

在加拿大可以买有NPN 标识的产品。厂家在申请NPN 的时候必须提供很多的检验结果,包括有效成分和各类残留,而且为了保持NPN有效也必须每年提供至少一批产品的检验结果,当然检验结果必须和Label一致。理论上在加拿大任何药店卖的草药或维生素都必须有NPN标识。

What’s in Those Supplements?

The New York State attorney general’s office accused four national retailers on Monday of selling dietary supplements that were fraudulent and in many cases contaminated with unlisted ingredients.

The authorities said they had run tests on popular store brands of herbal supplements at the retailers — Walmart, Walgreens, Target and GNC — which showed that roughly four out of five of the products contained none of the herbs listed on their labels. In many cases, the authorities said, the supplements contained little more than cheap fillers like rice and house plants, or substances that could be hazardous to people with food allergies.官方表示:多数情况下这些补充剂里除了填塞了些诸如大米以及常见室内植物之类的廉价成分之外,并没有太多真材实料。有些甚至还含有对食物过敏者可能有害的物质。

At GNC, for example, the agency found that five out of six samples from the company’s signature “Herbal Plus” brand of supplements “were either unrecognizable or a substance other than what they claimed to be.” In pills labeled ginkgo biloba, the agency found only rice, asparagus and spruce, an ornamental plant commonly used for Christmas decorations.

At Target, the agency tested six herbal products from its popular “Up and Up” store brand of supplements. Three out of six – including ginkgo biloba, St. John’s wort and valerian root, a sleep aid – tested negative for the herbs listed on their labels. But the agency did find that the pills contained powdered rice, beans, peas and wild carrots.

Here are the products that were analyzed by the attorney general, along with the test results that were described in cease-and-desist letters that the agency sent to the four retailers.
