Portland, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/17/2014 -- The Food and Drug Administration has once again reminded herbal manufacturers to disclose the required information on the labels of glucosamine supplements and other herbal products.
It is undeniable that natural alternatives have become more and more popular to arthritis patients in recent years. Due to the escalating demand for natural medicines, more and more companies are appearing in the market and claiming that they offer the best herbal supplements for a wide variety of conditions including arthritis.
According to research, there are herbal companies that do not disclose certain ingredients in the labels of their glucosamine products. Some of them even combine some minerals that are unsafe to be consumed by individuals who are suffering from certain medical conditions. There are also companies that intentionally do not disclose their real ingredients on their supplement label.
“It is important that consumers know exactly what they are taking at all times. We know how frustrating it is when you can't get the real facts, and that is why we have made it a priority to properly label each and every one of our supplement products,” said Michelle O’Sullivan, spokesperson at VitaBreeze Supplements (http://www.amazon.com/VitaBreeze/). “We also send every new batch to a third-party testing facility to ensure our product contains exactly what is stated on the bottle.”
Clinical trials were conducted to evaluate whether or not companies are following the manufacturing protocol set by the FDA. Some companies failed in the tests and this has encouraged the Food and Drug Administration to check on the manufacturing standards and practices of herbal companies.
The FDA requires that certain information should be included on the labels of supplements and other herbal products. Manufacturers should include a complete list of ingredients, descriptive name of the product, name and place of the manufacturer’s business and the net contents of the product.
