Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Manufacturers should list the scientific name of the product and the parts of the plant used in preparation. They are not required to list actions, uses, interactions, precautions, and any results of safety or efficacy studies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
There are no comprehensive regulations of herbal supplements regarding safety and efficacy, so consumers should research herbs and product manufacturers. Companies manufacturing for drug and grocery stores are suspect and do not always list all ingredients on their labels.
