Senate probes 'anti-aging' claims(Executive Pardoned By president clinton)

Agree with you candyman. I am quite interested in the supplement industry and there are many reputable sources of information, including even some of the larger manufacturers. I don't believe Gero-Vita was ever in my list of "trusted sources" though. That company always seemed bent on over-hype, selling fraudulent/fake versions of overseas drugs, etc. GV always came off as a bit sleazy and the company really hurts the industry. With regards to supplements, the fact that the industry is relatively free of government intervention has both good and bad. The good is that those of intelligent enough to sort the hype from the real can continue to have access (with some exceptions like L-Tryptophan unless you know how and where to look). The bad is that more disreputable companies like Gero-Vita can thrive on the average naive consumer's ignorance and fear. I must say I prefer this though, because anything else would kill the industry altogether so the only fair and practical solution for everybody is Caveat Emptor in my opinion. Don't take away my well-researched and trusted stuff to protect somebody who remains willfully ignorant and naive.
