Herbal supplements include a wide range of products like teas, capsules, and lozenges that contain plant-derived ingredients. These products are often used to support general wellness. When choosing an herbal supplement, it's important to understand that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates dietary supplements differently from conventional foods. Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring their products are safe and that claims are truthful, but the FDA does not approve supplements before they are sold. Always check the "Supplement Facts" panel for a list of active ingredients and their amounts. Also, review the "Other Ingredients" list for any added sugars, artificial colors, or fillers. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025-2030 recommend limiting added sugars. For sodium, the FDA Daily Value is 2,300 milligrams per day. Consulting a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement is always a good practice. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
