<p>More adults in the U.S. are using dietary supplements than ever before. For decades, however, tensions have existed between the U.S. government, supplement manufacturers and consumers who all have different stances around the safety and efficacy of these products. But just how did dietary supplements become so mainstream? And how did such a massive industry largely avoid regulatory oversight? How could the supplement industry be poised to change and what should we think about when choosing dietary supplements? Join us, two Registered Dietians, for the first of a two part series as we explore the history, questionable practices and pitfalls of the U.S. supplement industry. </p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/nutritionformortals"><strong>Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?
