This is overdue-to an extent. I feel consumers should have more reliable information re: a supplement before purchasing/consuming but don't want to see the supplement market turn into the pharmaceutical market. It would be nice to weed out the "snake oil" peddlers. We certainly need to gain a better understanding about the interactions between prescription drugs and herbal supplements.
