47 hospitalizations, 3 liver transplants needed, and 1 death from suppliments that are not checked for safety or regulated till after they come to market and for sale. The customer is the experimental animal for the suppliment industry in order to see if it is safe for human consumption.
Note that this is a toxic hepatitis, not viral. It is a direct effect of the product on the liver, not an infection.
Supplements should indeed be subject to regulation. Many contain substances not on the label or do not contain the substance on the label in the amount claimed.
The FDA can do nothing with "supplements" until they harm someone. The people who make them are, by law, not required to show they are safe or even useful.

ridiculous, don't you think?
Again I say the FDA needs to step up. They could do something regarding supplements if they choose to.
A proven weight loss method -- death! Wow - this is alarming. I do take certain vitamins to boost my weak immune system. But I know it has its own risk as does taking over the counter pain meds.

The FDA is NOT to blame. They can't just "step up" where they have no legal justification to do so. Problem lies with the manufacturer and the public that is willing to purchase unregulated supplements.

The FDA would be happy to do that. In regard to supplements, it is hampered by laws which prevents it from doing so.
