Abstract:
The concept of "dietary supplements" is either a blessing for those focused on healthy lifestyles and personal management thereof or a crisis fraught with snake oil and drug analogs that are insidiously poisoning the gullible. Lost in this chatter is the role the ethical, and customer-focused industry takes to drive self-directing/self-governing initiatives to demonstrate unequivocally their position as responsible corporate citizens, meeting the needs of the ever-growing body of wellness-seekers.
