Answer to Question 1

Yes, they are. The Federal Drug Administration mandates correct labeling of all products. There are new labeling laws that include vitamin supplements.

Answer to Question 2

First, take the advice of your physician. If you need a vitamin, select one that meets the minimum daily requirement. Check the label for comparison. Avoid choosing one that has an excess amount of any ingredient.
