What?
Don't you check the ingredient list and say, does it say turmeric as an ingredient?
Is it the same way with food?
Like, if you read an ingredient in a food product... No, no, no, no, no, no.
There is a private supplement testing lab called Consumer Lab that Marion points to a lot.
Its whole business is testing supplements to see what is actually in them.
And recently, they tested a bunch of turmeric pills on the market and found that one had no turmeric, basically, and others had more than even advertised.
Over most of the last 30 years, supplement-related liver failure increased eightfold, so much so that people started having to be put on wait lists for liver transplants.
That might be because of user error, like people taking a bunch of these supplements in a day thinking more must be better, but maybe it's other reasons.
It's really hard to pinpoint.
And Marion thinks it is pretty important to point out that most supplements, whether they are certified or not, likely are not causing any real harm, even if they likely aren't causing any benefit.
I must admit, I have not thrown out my vitamin C gummies or my turmeric pills.
Though, I don't know, Jane, maybe I just won't buy them again.
Maybe it's totally irrational of us, but maybe it's not.
Because there is one good thing that supplements do sometimes do for us, says Marion.
Did she just say supplements make people feel better?
Yeah, you feel like your vitamin C gummy helps you not catch a cold, and then you don't catch a cold.
Placebos, baby.
You know what gets me about all this, Jane?
If supplement makers were to just be like fully transparent, right?
