So how can you find a safe supplement if the FDA only regulates them AFTER they are sold to you? Third party testing. What makes third party testing so important? First, it reduces bias in the results because the manufacturing company won’t be the one gathering that data. Second, third party labs typically are hired by many different companies that have a variety of products they need tested. These products typically include those that aren’t supplements and are regulated. This requires these third party labs to be licensed and regulated by various regulating bodies including the FDA, USP, USDA, ISO etc. Because they are regulated their results are very reliable. Lastly, third party labs can offer more testing on a product that a manufacturer typically wouldn’t test for because of the associated expenses. All of these reasons justify why third party testing improves product quality and safety. Regardless of these reasons, make sure you talk to your doctor if you have concerns about your health and supplements.
