BEYOND STRUCTURE/FUNCTION STATEMENTS: LITTLE KNOWN USES FOR WELL-KNOWN HERBS
In this dynamic presentation at the 2002 Natural Products Expo in Washington, DC, Ed Smith discusses the many therapeutic uses of herbs which are not allowed to be stated as structure/function statements for herbal dietary supplements.
In 1994 congress granted the dietary supplement industry the right to make claims for the influence of dietary supplements upon the structure and/or function of the human anatomy and physiology. The seldom discussed therapeutic applications which lie beyond such structure/function statements for a number of well-known herbs are presented here by one of the country's leading herbalists and herbal supplement manufacturers.
