However, mislabeling of the products is common.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe performed analytical chemistry and found about a 50% mismatch between stated ingredients on the label and what they actually contained, which is quite alarming. If you buy a supplement and it says it has a certain ingredient, it&#8217;s basically a coin flip if that\u2019s true or not,\u201d Robert Fontana, M.D., Michigan Medicine hepatologist, professor of medicine, and the study\u2019s senior author, said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re not trying to create an alarm. We&#8217;re just trying to increase awareness that the over-the-counter supplements people are taking and buying have not been tested nor necessarily proven to be safe,\u201d Fontana added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The supplement sales have surpassed $150 billion in the United States in 2023.
