Episode 53:Are Supplements Safe? The Bitter Truth


Listen Later

You are dedicated to optimizing your health. You eat a clean diet, you exercise, and you’re always looking for an edge to improve your performance, energy, and longevity. Walking through the health food store or scrolling online, you are met with a dazzling array of bottles and powders, all promising to fill nutritional gaps, boost brainpower, build muscle, or turn back the clock. The supplement industry appears to be an extension of the health and wellness movement, a scientific path to a better you.

But what if this multi-billion-dollar industry is built on a foundation of shaky science, lax regulation, and misleading marketing? What if the very products you are taking to improve your health are, at best, ineffective and, at worst, dangerous? The bitter truth is that the world of dietary supplements is a regulatory Wild West, a marketplace where consumer trust is exploited and safety is often a secondary concern.
