DISCUSSION: Dietary Supplements
Order this discussion here
For this discussion, we'll be learning a bit more about the regulation (or lack thereof) of
dietary supplements. Watch the video clip posted below from the documentary Bigger,
Faster, Stronger and review the information provided in the two links below from the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration website regarding its role in supplement regulation. The
movie clip examines the unregulated dietary supplement industry in the U.S. The clip is
posted on YouTube by a company selling dietary supplements. I am by no means endorsing
the company…it’s the best clip I can find without requiring you to watch the entire 2-hour
documentary. If you would like to watch the entire documentary, it is available on Netflix.
