Answer to Question 1

Natural doesn't mean safe. Even though they come from plants, herbal supplements can have druglike effects. Because herbals are considered dietary supplements and are not regulated by the FDA, they do not have to meet the same strict standards for safety and effectiveness as are required for prescription drugs.

Answer to Question 2

A
