How do I know what brands of supplements have the potency correctly stated on the bottle?

MasterMmmm asked:


I have heard of and seen programs where they test certain brands of vitamins and other supplements sold in drug stores. On these programs they ‘expose’ brands as not having in the ‘pill’ what the brands say they have.

For example, a glucosamine capsule which advertises 1500 units on the bottle may only have 1000. This is just an example. I do not remember the brands which were ‘bad’ nor the supplement.

So, my question is, how do I know I am paying for what I am getting? Today, I entered into a health store which sells a huge selection of vitamins and other pills. I wanted a specific supplement which might the pain I have in my rotator cuff. There were lots of these pills for joint health, and that is when I started to wonder if I am just buying a sugar pill or am I getting what it says on the bottle.

My period was 11 days late, and I thought I was pregnant so I went in to the dr and he discovered an ovarian cyst. He prescribed me Prometrium 200 MG capsule to take twice a day for 10 days. I have heard that this pill will make your period extra heavy. Is this true? Also, how does this affect my cyst? And how long after beginning this drug will I begin my period? Thanks in advance!!

Every night I take 2 capsules of benadryl to help get to sleep. I’ve been doing this for about 1 and a half months. And every morning I take 1-2 tablets of motrin and I’ve been doing that for years and years. Is this really bad for my health or is it not such a big deal?
