Energy drink cans are labeled “energy supplement”. Is an energy supplement not a dietary supplement?

Force Factor comes in openable capsules, but I wonder if I’m supposed to swallow the capsules whole or open them and empty the powder into my mouth and swallow with water.

dave asked:


A recent Consumer Reports article stated: “… consumers are easily lulled into believing that supplements can do no harm because they’re ‘natural’,”

“However, some natural ingredients can be hazardous, and on top of that the FDA has repeatedly found hazardous ingredients, including synthetic prescription drugs, in supplements.”

“In May, the Government Accountability Office found that sellers of ginseng, echinacea and other herbal and dietary supplements often tell consumers the pills can cure cancer or replace prescription medications.”

“The organization pointed to 12 supplement ingredients in particular that it said could be dangerous: aconite, bitter orange, chaparral, colloidal silver, coltsfoot, comfrey, country mallow, germanium, greater celandine, kava, lobelia, and yohimbe.”

I’m particularly concerned that the problem appears to be so bad, the FDA has set up an office in China (where it appears that most of these supplements are produced) yet has not inspected any of them!

So, with nobody checking to ensure your supplements are uncontaminated, why do you think they are safe? What confidence do you have that you’re not regularly accumulating poisons and causing more harm than good?
David: I’m not sure that “never had any issues” is very reassuring, though it’s good that you haven’t. Homeopathy has no proven benefits by the way.

dbobo: Wtf? Did you not understand the question?
Nitram: I agree, these greedy multi-billion dollar moneygrabbers should be accountable for their products.

SA/Aristo: Wouldn’t it be polite to let people know they’re taking a risk? You know, just so they can make an informed choice? Or is it more profitable to poison first, make excuses later?

Fake Rhianna (yeah, you wish you were that smart): Your Red Herring Fallacy is of course, invalid.
Wow, you have 4 accounts? Aren’t you just a tad embarrassed?
5? Oh dear……..

Thinking of developing a healthy beverage with lots and lots of good stuff - vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, anthocyanins, amino acids, etc. Want to know how the FDA - if at all - decides which drink is a ‘Supplement’ under DSHEA and which is a food.
