It's totally unregulated and desparately needs it. Products are not monitored in any way for clean manufacturing processes, purity, potency, interactions with real medications and certainly not evaluated for efficacy in a scientific manner. A family friend is the CEO of a biotech firm developing new medications and I know FDA inspectors. The regulatory function of the FDA is not about money grabbing "Big Pharma", it's about product safety. Do you know how many MILLIONS of dollars of profit there is in the supplement industry? The companies are not burdened with the monumental expense of long term multi-phase trials of their products and the actual ingredients of most supplements are pennies per bottle! In the case of homeopathy, the cost of any active ingredient is negligible in a 200C dilution when you do the math on the dilution factor.
