4. Vitamins and Herbal Supplements
You can typically make pretty sound decisions on which items to buy based on their label, right? Well, don’t count on it for multivitamins. Studies have shown that they’re not only substandard, but their contents don’t match what it says on the tin either, so you might think you’re saving money but in actuality, you’re just buying low-quality, deceptive products.
You might be thinking that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has your back, too, but sadly they’re not as rigorous when it comes to supplements, which is why you might be tricked into buying these poorly made pills.
All in all, it’s a good idea to just head to the pharmacy instead. It might be more expensive, but you’re getting what you’re paying for.
