Purchasing products labeled "natural" does not guarantee safety or quality, as the term is not regulated by the FDA and can be misleading. The other options are effective strategies to help evaluate the safety and quality of a supplement. Looking for the U.S.P. Verified Mark indicates that the supplement has been tested by an independent organization for purity and potency, buying nationally recognized brands ensures a certain level of quality, and contacting the company for additional information allows for transparency and clarification on any concerns.
