Это не лекарство, а БАД (в английском варианте Dietary Supplement) . БАД не предназначены для лечения или профилактики каких-либо заболеваний:
Вот что обязаны писать на коробочке с БАД их производители:
"THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, CURE, OR PREVENT ANY DISEASE." ("ЭТОТ ПРОДУКТ НЕ ПРЕДНАЗНАЧЕН ДЛЯ ДИАГНОСТИКИ, ЛЕЧЕНИЯ ИЛИ ПРОФИЛАКТИКИ КАКИХ-ЛИБО ЗАБОЛЕВАНИЙ") [Ссылки доступны только зарегистрированным пользователям ]
"...One thing dietary supplements are not is drugs. A drug, which sometimes can be derived from plants used as traditional medicines, is an article that, among other things, is intended to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent diseases. Before marketing, drugs must undergo clinical studies to determine their effectiveness, safety, possible interactions with other substances, and appropriate dosages, and FDA must review these data and authorize the drugs' use before they are marketed. FDA does not authorize or test dietary supplements.
A product sold as a dietary supplement and touted in its labeling as a new treatment or cure for a specific disease or condition would be considered an unauthorized--and thus illegal--drug. Labeling changes consistent with the provisions in DSHEA would be required to maintain the product's status as a dietary supplement.
Another thing dietary supplements are not are replacements for conventional diets, nutritionists say. Supplements do not provide all the known--and perhaps unknown--nutritional benefits of conventional food..."
