Supplement Entrepreneurs: Exercise Caution

[mikey3times]

This Frontline episode is scary: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/supplements-and-safety/.

It seems like supplements aren't the hot new thing they used to be, but if you are getting into supplements please be sure you protect yourself. Don't trust your supplier. Get proof! And make sure you have solid insurance.

That said, I am sure there is an opportunity here for a supplement company that is fully transparent.

I go a step further.

Anything that you put ON your skin, or put IN your body, should be researched with extreme caution.

I'd like to go a step further here seeing that I actually witnessed non-english speaking individuals here in the states bottling an off brand of juice in an industrial building not even close to being qualified for food anything, and then later seeing this brand being sold in a Marathon gas station up the street.

So, my thought is if it isn't a brand that you know, whether food, supplement or anything consumable, DO NOT BUY IT

Going to third this. As part of what I'm doing, I've been researching product ingredients. Scary stuff.

Today's recommendation: get rid of your non stick cookware

Came for business advice, left scared of apple juice, Teflon and vitamin C.
