This is more that a "clikbait" title. The big picture is that the food supplement is unregulated in the USA, due, in most part, to intense lobbying of the food supplement industry.
They should be mainly regulated to ensure purity standards, prevent mislabeling, and to allow quick action when a health danger is discovered (and not a just a 1-in-1,000,000 case). The supplement industry should be forced to provide independent lab testing results for each batch they sell and to list all possible known interactions and dangers on the product pages and together with the physical products, and to provide the government with total sales numbers. I'm strongly against banning supplements by default.
General problems are the lack of research, especially on humans, low-powered and short-term studies only, and not publishing null results. It would be nice if all supplements had safety studies on humans but with a median cost of a phase 3 trial at $19 million, it would be equivalent to a total ban, unless the government pays. Maybe some kind of an alternative system could be created where users report by themselves and all companies have to encourage users to use this system...
