Swanson Health Products uses a date of manufacture (the date the product in the bottle was produced) rather than an expiration date for its dietary supplement products.  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the agency that oversees the manufacture and labeling of dietary supplements, does not require an expiration date on dietary supplements but requires that if one is used, it must be supported by stability testing data. However, as these regulations are still evolving, FDA has yet to define...

Granted, these applications differ greatly from simple supplementation, but I think it’s an important fact that is kept quiet and “hidden” from the average consumer.

A recent interview with Dr. Thomas Levy in WholeFoods Magazine, a trade publication for natural products...

But to confirm to the rest of the world what we all know (or at least believe), the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) recently completed a study that showed—once again—that people who use dietary supplements make healthier lifestyle choices.

Now, this study shouldn’t be taken out of context or made into anything it is not. The results do not claim that dietary supplements make you healthier,...
