Dietary supplements: FDA monitors both prescription & over-the-counter medications. This means that companies must prove both safety & effectiveness of their medications before they can market them. OTOH, manufacturers of dietary supplements have no legal obligation to prove either safety or effectiveness prior to marketing. So long as put FDA disclaimer on product, they can make up wild claims & miraculous promises.
