@maramacologistt: Idk I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about side effects listed on package inserts lately and it’s getting really annoying. Having side effects listed for you is a GOOD THING
"Big Pharma" is a $600 Billion industry, BUT "Big Wellness/Supplements" is a $2 TRILLION dollar industry with ALMOST NO REGULATION!!!!!

and because rx are ✨longitudinally studied✨ so we know any potential complications! supplements don’t need empirical research to get to market!

So the “ ask your doctor” on the supplements really got them covered

Let's all say it together, "if it can have a positive desired benefit, it can also have a negative, undesired outcome."

Worse yet, chiropractors use this app to push the misinformation that supplements can cure all sorts of medical conditions.

I have always wondered why supplements come with calories. I knew supplements are not regulated, but I didn’t know they were considered “food”

Supplement/wellness industry is worth over $6 trillion dollars, more than twice all pharmaceutical companies combined. Let ppl know that the next time they talk about making money off of your health

Also, the side effects list has to include nearly everything that people have reported experiencing on the medication….even if it was super uncommon

I have multiple chronic illnesses & the only supplements I’ve ever been advised by a doctor to take are prenatal vitamins (including postpartum) and vitamin d3. I have effective prescription drugs with very little side effects for my illnesses.

It is also so important to get proper blood work done before taking supplements to ensure that you actually need them! Just because you heard about them on social media does not necessarily mean that you need them. They can potentially do more harm for you than good 😊

Pretty sure this is also why anybody can sell supplements but only doctors can write prescriptions.

Supplements also don’t undergo as extensive testing/trials.

they're not even required to test their products to find out what the side effects are, and they're also no regulatory body that oversees if their product even contains what it advertises. as someone who used to work in the "wellness" industry, most supplements contain barely a trace amount of what's advertised. the suppliment industry makes three times as much money per year than the pharmaceutical industry does

Just minor correction, food actually has more strict regulations than supplements. Supplements are not regulated like food.

I'm unsure but I think that even if one person reports a side effect during trial it has to be listed. am I correct on that

You don’t need supplements or pharmaceutical drugs if you just eat healthy. Unfortunately that’s hard to do with our food. Read the ingredients of pop tarts and then try to understand how our FDA approved that 😡 along with just about everything else we feed our children. So important to eat whole foods!!
