Abstract
We are exposed to advertisements of dietary supplements every day. The advertisements provide only their benefits. Therefore, consumers lack accurate information about the safety and efficacy of dietary supplements. Japanese dietary supplements have numerous problems such as lack of quality control, inadequate clinical trials, adverse events and drug interaction. It is important to know the bias of information on dietary supplements and to attempt to collect their scientific evidences and risks.
