Popular Herbal Supplements

     New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has sent letters to GNC, Target, Wal-Mart, and Walgreen Co notifying them that many of the herbal products they were selling either did not contain ingredients listed on the label or contained ingredients not listed on the label.
     Only 21% of the DNA tests verified the information on the labels of products like echinacea, ginseng, St. John's wort, garlic, ginkgo biloba and saw palmetto.
     A further problem was contamination of the products with other materials.
     NeoLife tests all raw materials before manufacturing products and then retests the final product to verify that what is on the label of products is actually contained in the products. Quality control is a major NeoLife difference.
