Some basics: The supplement industry has bought off congress to the point there are NO REQUIREMENTS for them to meet any of the standards drugs must meet for safety and effectiveness. This material is used for as a blocking agent in Tylenol overdoses, so it has some benefits to a few. Much of the touted benefits are hard to separate from the sugar pill (placebo) effect. Long term use safety is unknown.
