Accidents and screw ups happen. Let us compare the amount of side effects from supplements compared to statins?

Shouldn't have happened. But lets keep things in perspective, one rogue company from four years ago..The supplement industry as a whole is competent and trustworthy.

One bad apple may not spoil the others, but it can make it bad for the others.

I remember, once upon a time:

The US FDA removed l-tryptophan from the market due to one bad batch from one Japanese manufacturer in 1998. It was not until 2005 that the FDA
Quote:
FDA previously had an import alert (�Detention without physical examination of L-tryptophan�) which limited the importation of LT into the United States. (13) However, as of May 2, 2005, the FDA cancelled the import alert on LT. The cancellation stated, �There is insufficient evidence at this time to support detention without physical examination of involving foreign sources of l-tryptophan. Therefore, this alert is cancelled.� https://www.naturalhealthresearch.org/nhri/?p=1768

Seems that some people take too many medicines, while others take too many supplements.

From what I've seen, all the V & M supplements we get here in the UK come in from China...
