Today's Special Value

Actually, supplements cannot purport to treat any medical or health issue.  The label can only state that it "supports" certain things.  That's it.  As soon as it makes a claim that it treats something it falls under FDA control.  You really have to do your own research to determine what supplements might work for any given condition.  

Also, just to show how the FDA works, I think it's interesting that for years and years the FDA only allowed Stevia to be sold as a supplement.  Nowhere on the label could it say it could be used as a sweetener.  Why?  Because of the sugar lobby.  Only after another big food lobby decided it was worth using in one of their products were they able to start labeling it as a sweetener.  I bought Stevia as a sweetener many years before it ever started showing up on grocery store shelves, but there was nothing on the label stating it could be used as a sweetener.

IMO people who take supplements indiscrimintely, e.g., for hair/nail/skin problems are foolish.  I read about those who take 10/12 supplements a day, I think Colleen on HSN said she took several, and wonder how healthy that truly is.  If there is a specific need, take that specific supplement, otherwise at the very least a waste of money.

Although these types of products are not regulated by the FDA,  they are also sold at supermarkets, health food stores, and pharmacies, etc.   Why would you say QVC does not have a right?    Do your own research on the product if you need more information and make an informed decision to buy or not buy.   I have found a several supplements that are helpful to me and my doctor has even suggested a few.  I have not tried meratrim but I have been researching the ingredients.

Friends, save your money, there is no permanent quick fix.  Eat more fruits and veggies, more chicken and fish and walk around the block.  Much better for you and you'll feel strong and healthy.

Cosmetices are not FDA approved nor nail polish nor fragrance or over the counter skin care? Do you use any of those?

[handygal2]

What bothers me is that they're pushing auto-delivery for this product. Most customers have never used it before, so they don't know if it will work for them.

I think you are always going to have a weight problem because you are depending on  supplements and not reality. You have to do it on your own because nothing will help you reach your goal except you.
