Consumer Labs found that more than two-thirds of elderberry supplements sold on Amazon did not contain authentic elderberry at all.

Marion says there are some supplements on the shelves that are maybe more trustworthy than others if they're marked with

An NSF or USP, that indicates that they've been third-party tested, that the supplements do contain the ingredients listed, and that the amounts are accurate and not at harmful levels.

Remember Frank, our supplement maker?

His supplements are NSF certified.

I mean, to be honest, that kind of surprised me.

I mean, Marian Nestle, woman of science, you would think would be rabidly anti-supplement.

Honestly, she's kind of like...

They still take some supplements, too.

Yeah, but it's not necessarily because their ingredients actually do what they say they'll do.

I'm feeling good about this.

I'm feeling really good.

Yeah, probably not.
