Anti-Supplement Regulations
More government regulations on supplements will not change the health effects associated with practice. Newer evidence-based measures are required. Despite the government's continued role in regulating dietary and activity supplements, there is increasing health risks associated with the practice. For most of the younger generation that utilizes supplements in the form of steroids to boost their athletic competencies, small-scale effects such as drug addiction take a toll over time due to overdependence. Gahche et al. (2017) describe that the available measures put in practice by the federal government are not adequate to prevent extreme dependence on supplement products. Supplements such as Omega 3, fish oil, and multivitamins have had adverse effects, especially among the older generation. Some of these products cause the progression of terminal illnesses such as liver damage, as discussed by Bailey et al. (2019). Studies have found that without counter-effective policy formulation by the government, it is challenging to guarantee citizens' safety.
