In 1994, Congress passed and President Clinton signed into law the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, which limits the FDA’s control over dietary supplements. Under this law, The FDA can’t require premarket tests to prove that supplements are safe and effective, limit the dosage in any dietary supplement, end or restrict sales of a dietary supplement unless evidence shows that the product has caused illness or injury when used according to the directions on the package. In other words, if you experience a problem after taking slightly more or less of a supplement than directed on the label, the FDA can’t help you (Ng, 230).
