Herbal Supplements

People are taking over-the-counter herbs (considered a form of dietary supplement) in greater numbers than ever before. You, or someone you know, may be taking one right now. People take herbs for many reasons from general health improvement to care of chronic conditions, including back pain. According to US News and World Report, Congress’ General Accounting Office estimated consumer spending for dietary supplements and functional foods to be about $31 billion in 1999.
