As reported by Abby
Phillip in Washington Post, the business for so-called health pills, dietary
supplements or weight-reduction pills is booming; the dietary supplements
amounted to $ 13 billion industry in 2013. Regrettably, while there is lack of
scientific evidence to support the claim these supplements make, a troubling
connection is emerging between men who take dietary supplements and the
ailments they might develop.
A new research in
British Journal of Cancer found evidence taking muscle building supplements led
to 56 to 150 per cent higher risk of developing testicular cancer.
The cosmetics industry is also
following the same pattern. Many products are being marketed as “natural” or
made with “natural ingredients” without specifying the actual ingredients on
labels. The glamorous selling campaigns for some products are: “spot correcting
technology”, “biofabrication”, “wrinkle repairer”, “fison hydrate”, all
claiming overnight results. Apparently, there is no verifiable evidence for
such magical effects.
Another recent study found that a
synthetic, amphetamine-like chemical was found in weight-loss supplements
advertised as a “natural ingredient”. Two years earlier, FDA had found that
chemical, which has never been tested for safety in humans, could be found in
supplements that were sold freely on store shelves.
The cosmetics industry at present is
loosely regulated and various players are always on the look out to promote
their sales with questionable marketing claims. At Herbally Radiant we have
been campaigning for stricter regulations so as to prevent potentially risky
skin care products from entering the market.
The natural skin care products that
are made by Herbally Radiant have certified organic ingredients well displayed
on the labels. Highly effective and safe, these are free from any side effects.
Consumers need to know about these ingredients and their efficacy in beauty
enhancement or in dealing with any skin disorder right from acne to spots or
lines, premature aging of skin and so on.
