Answer from: ashleydenson1517

It is false. The FDA does not test a dietary supplement for purity and potency.

The FDA is not empowered to test dietary supplement for purity and potency, it is the sole duty of manufacturers and distributors to ensure that their product meets the required standard or are safe before they hit the market. In other words, the distributors and the manufactures of the dietary supplement must make sure their products are safe before taking them to the market.

Further Explanation

If any of the products produced by the manufactures contain a new ingredient, they must as a matter of necessity inform the FDA before such a product will get into the market.

When a new product that contains new ingredients gets to the FDA, it is the responsibility of the FDA to review the products for safety and not for effectiveness.

Manufacturers must ensure their dietary supplement is produced in a quality way. They must also ensure that dietary supplements do not have any contaminants.

Dietary supplements are ingredients such as minerals, vitamins, amino acids, herbs, etc. and are also marketed in different forms which include capsules, powders, etc.
