At that time, the market for supplements accounted for about four billion dollars in revenue a year. The ongoing issue the FDA has with the supplement industry is twofold; one is the regulation of health claims made by supplement companies, and two is a regular, systematic review of supplements for the presence of unclaimed or illegal ingredients.
