What are the differences between cheap and expensive dietary supplements?
In: Chemistry
In the US they are almost totally unregulated as long as they are called “supplements” and do not make any specific health claims.
What this means is that there could potentially be no difference whatsoever. A manufacturer can put the exact same pills into different bottles to capture both budget and boutique markets and there is nothing stopping them.
There isn’t even a requirement as to how much of the active ingredient is present or thatbis is consistent feom one dose to the next.
The entire dietary supplements field is the wild west.
