Episode 2948:
Dr. Neal Malik breaks down how to choose safe, effective supplements in a largely unregulated industry. He explains why looking for third-party certifications like USP, NSF, and GMP can protect your health, and your wallet, by ensuring you're getting exactly what the label promises.
Quotes to ponder:
"One study found that 15% of protein supplements sold contain banned substances like amphetamines and anabolic steroids."
"The more certifications we find on a supplement’s packaging, the better."
"If you can find a product that has a USP, NSF, and GMP certification, then that’s a pretty safe purchase."
