Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Dietary supplements are not evaluated by the FDA prior to being offered for sale to the public. All dietary supplements are placed under a special umbrella of food by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act and are required to be labeled as dietary supplements. Product marketers cannot claim to cure, treat, or prevent a disease or condition.

C
Feedback:
