Monday, March 9th, 2009Health insurance is your most effective way to stay healthy and save your finances. Don’t go without.
Many people turn to dietary supplements as an alternative to other drugs. Many see them as more natural. They are easy to get, most supermarkets have many in stock. With so many people without health insurance they are growing even more popular each year.
A dietary supplement is taken by mouth in pill, capsule, liquid or tablet form. It contains at least one of the following; vitamins, herbs, botanicals and amino acids. They are always labeled for dietary supplement only. Just because they are on the shelf doesn’t make them safe however.
Dietary supplements are not regulated by the U.S Department of Food and Drug the same as other drugs are. The regulate label claims of these supplements. Manufactures do not have to prove the products are safe and effective, but they are not permitted to sale anything unsafe.
I don’t know about you , but that doesn’t make me feel very safe taking these supplements. Before taking a supplement you should always do your homework and consult with a physician. The contain chemicals like any other drug and can have side effects.
Auto insurance is also a safety net for financial well being.
