Andy Crouppen from Brown & Crouppen shares that the FDA is warning consumers about dietary supplements that are illegally claiming to treat Alzheimer’s and other serious diseases.
These companies are preying on desperate people who are looking for answers and are willing to try anything to help cure the ones they love.
These supplements are regulated as food and not by the FDA, which tests the effectiveness and safety of a drug. These dietary supplements can have ingredients that are harmful if not taken in moderation or taken with other medications. For a drug to be approved by the FDA, the medication must be more effective than the placebo.
